On The Overuse Of Semicolons While Programming.



 Dilbert's real error is he obviously isn't using Python. :)

  1. Oh that's funny! I tried posting my comment in xml to show a declarative language that doesn't use semicolons. I got an error about an empty required field so I added a 'What?' outside of the xml and that's all that got published. Cool! I wonder what will happen if I publish a comment that says DELETE from USERS where user_name like %smidt%;

    I've always wanted to name one of my kids with a SQL query to see how many systems don't scrub their input.

    Stan, that's too funny!

    And "DELETE from USERS where user_name like %smidt%;" better not work. :)

  3. I should write that I am using really often some semicolons ; but in this case this is with a will of rigor, because Descartes was writing like this.
