I hate how programming is so inconsistent. I mean, in vim I press 'w' to move one word, whereas in Notepad I press Ctrl-Right. They're not even close! I hate it when I use someone else's editor and I have to re-learn all the commands. I wish programmers could standardise this stuff. Maybe there could be a committee whose job it is to standardise editor commands, then we could program in any editor without having to worry about it. [I'm joking of course, but only half-joking. There's a serious point to be made, which is that mathematics exists completely independently of notation. When mathematicians don't care about notation, it's because they care about the actual mathematics instead. The reason mathematics notation is non-standardised is because standardising it wouldn't really help mathematicians that much. Unfortunately this means that non-mathematicians who use mathematics suffer.] |
