How are you traversing the directory you pass in on the command line ?

My friends=C2=A0! Let's not become dogmatic, please=C2=A0!!! =E2=80=A6

I have nothing against standards in coding and all, but please, let us =

people write dirty code sometimes ! It can be so handy !

I like well indented code, and pushing a whole lot of code I want to =

make optional one indentation further is a pain in the back. There are =

many ways to program well, and there is also idiosyncratic or =

exceptional programming that may be way clearer with a blatant GOTO.

Why not ? I like it when a language gives me tools, handy tools, logical =

ones, for particular situations, like, imagine, you just want to have =

the data in a proper format and start doing nifty stuff with it right =

away. Who cares if the data-load part is not yet modularized, and all, =

and if there are some orange cones around your hefty chunk of code with =

multiple passes and all =E2=80=94 with DEVIATION signs flashing in front =
it=C2=A0? =

It's surely temporary, so, let's relaaax.

And=E2=80=A6 what if it wasn't temporary=C2=A0? I agree that using it too=
 much =

(especially backwards) is a bad habit, but in some situations, why not=C2=
=A0? =

Like, we have a break instruction that is very handy to short-circuit =

the code and jump above it.

I like cleanliness and modularization, but I also like to have the eval =

command, and metaprogramming stuff to explore sometimes unexpected ways. =

So, why not a goto command ?

It's neat to be able to get dirty when one needs it and feels confident =

about it=C2=A0!

Anyway=E2=80=A6 for now, I'll just make exceptions to my indentation fixa=
tion, =

waiting for a freer future.

Ciao !
