Couldn’t agree more!

Explain the differences in the following to a new developer:

something - a regular variable

$something - just another regular variable with a fancy char

#something - now that’s a private variable

!something - this is… uhm… a regular variable cast to… eh… boolean, then inverted…

~something - type cast blah blah bit flipping magic

!!something - same as !something except inverted again, because using Boolean(something) is not 1337

//something - a comment

Yeah… personally, I much prefer the more explicit ways to write code. it’s cryptic enough as it is, why make it harder for your peers
