"It writes boilerplate faster."

Is that all we aspire to now? Not abstraction or templating or better language design, just... output boilerplate faster.

It's depressing.

@xgranade When people started using that line on me my response was always, if your programming is requiring that you write so much boilerplate, there's probably a better way of going about what you're trying to do in the first place.

But that argument never gains any traction with them.
