Depends on one's principles. Also, perhaps it's all because I just wanted to give a brief example. I could give real situation examples but I find that unnecessary. Also please try to give attention and not evade the details I give at least for the sake of keeping this thread discussion shorter. > It is always possible to create a convoluted problem that is hard to > implement in any language.

Using workarounds is not that bad, probably, but sometimes they're too fixed, too hard to apply, or too heavy by size that it could have been easier if one feature was available. It also depends on how you love the design of your craft. Not all projects are made for the sake of monetary profit. Not that I'm saying it's all about craftiness. Simplicity though safe doesn't always yield simple results. Sometimes due to its limits a more complex output is made. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
