     @icedquinn Yeah this is a pattern that I've seen myself

     Internet folks like to deride some language for not being able to satisfy their thirst for making clever/"cursed" code yet those very languages are often expressly designed so that people can learn it and start understanding what your colleagues are doing right from day one... hence why those "unclever" languages are the ones that end up dominating the business space instead
