Re: RPG, open source, and the web

Henrik, I've kind of lost track of this conversation, although I continue to read it because I love running across nuggets like this one. I must admit that I can see how the prefixed commas are much more readily identifiable than postfixed ones, and I'm pretty sure I assimilate them better. Now, to be honest I'm not sure I care how readable my JSON code is - I would hope that I don't have to read JSON regularly - but this was definitely a nifty revelation and I'll bet I will find a place to apply this knowledge at some point.

Mihael, you may think I'm crazy bringing in LEAN psycologist into
programming, but just notise the "commas"
that is set in the front instead of the back in the above code - the human
brain processes these commas in a
rate 3 times faster than if it was in the end of the statement if the code
is hirachical structured - in 10 statements
you cannot hardly measure the diffence - but programmers during years has to
read million of statements and suddenly
the time to mindmapping to code makes a difference.
