| Can we keep overly complex code out of the source when it does not need

|
| I've noticed while loops that should be foreach loops (fixed). I've just
| seen code that tests whether a variable is an array without using
| is_array() (will be fixed in patch when finished).
|
| Yes, you have proven that you are awesome, but you don't need to prove
| it. Now for the love of all that is holy please stop. Overly complex
| code when it does not need to be does not help people decipher your code.

People should watch what Alan Cox says about the importance of the
elegance of code. It's here:

Highly recommended, with English translation.

By the way, Drupal's founder gave WordPress decent recognition some days
ago. I can find and post the URL if you've missed it.

Have a nice weekend.
