Augment and Inner: Haters Gotta Hate
The other day, on the Moose mailing list, I read this: “I’m not sure augment/inner is ever the right answer, ...”. It reminded me of this sentence from the POD for Moo:
... the author considers augment to be a bad idea ...
Here’s another:
Nobody understandsaugment
/inner
properly, and the whole idea is broken.
The authors of these statements are intelligent, experienced programmers. You can find similar statements all over the web, also made by intelligent, experienced programmers. It certainly sounds like this augment
thing is a pretty terrible idea. So why all the hate for augment
?
