• Clean code Clean code states its intentions clearly and directly, keeps local context local, and is organized as a top-down, hierarchical flow.
• Programming languages work against this.
• They make you write boilerplate that does nothing for your meaning and exists only to satisfy the compiler.
• They make you follow conventions and syntax that aren't natural, and those break up a clean reading.
• The code ends up ordered the way the compiler needs it, not the way a person would explain it.
