If code IS supposed to be treated like a language, ya'll are being equivalent to English snobs.

Yes, bad english can be detrimental: starts wars, malpractice, etc... We just take it for granted.

If code is treated like math, then we can talk about absolutes and good code.

But 90% of us talk about it in the language context, hence why we call it a programming language....
