What really grinds my gears.

If I do this with C#:

switch(foo) {
    case 0:
    case 1:
}

Visual studio gives me an error because some idiot decided that in C# it won't let you fall through to the next case label anymore.

But if I do this:

switch(foo) {
    case 0:
        int bar = 3;
        break;
    case 1:
        int bar = 4;
        break;
}

It gives me an error about redefining my variable, EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE FORCED ME TO MAKE EVERY "case" CLAUSE A COMPLETELY SEPARATE ENTITY.

What really grinds my gears: Someone who would actually learn C# in the first place, then take the time to make forum posts about what a bad language it is.

use python and a dictionary full of lambdas, ``faggot''

lambda considered unpythonic!!

>>42, 43
how about the much more elegant method:

def case_a():
    pass

def case_b():
    pass

def case_c():
    pass

def default():
    pass

mycase = 1

print { 0: case_a, 1: case_b, 2: case_c }.get(1, default)

>>44
That was pythonic.


if case == 0:
    pass
elif case == 1:
    pass
elif case == 2:
    pass
else:
    pass

Less typing, less namespace pollution. Derp.
