Title
Comprehensible Programming
Abstract
Have you ever looked at code you wrote 5 years ago, and wondered what you were thinking? Just think of code you authored even further back! You’ve heard about secure code, safe code, clean code, modern code, optimized code, clever code, user friendly code, structured code, effective code, etc. Everybody thinks they write easy to comprehend code (including me), but your future self will likely have the last word on that. Here I’ll be talking about writing easy to understand code. It’s based on decades of experience writing code that is hard to understand. It’ll show how D makes it easy to write easy to understand code. It won’t cost anything, either. And who knows - maybe your future self will sigh contentedly with “I wrote that!”
The highest praise you can get for your code is someone else looking at it saying “that’s so simple, anyone could have done it!” (But you and I know better)
