Last time I checked programming had something to do with computer science. You could say its applied computer science. So I ask myself: how come that this discipline, already 50+ years old, has almost no consensus of how its output aka written code should be structured? Why are there no established standards or rules? Not a rethorical question, happy to hear your thoughts.
