Without more details, this comment is not of much use than "random developer on the internet insults another's code".

Plus "idiomatic code" is overrated.

For example idiomatic Java was a clusterfuck for nearly a decade, with all the EJB's and FactorySingletonProxies and XML everywhere. It would be better for Java programmers to ignore the idiomatic BS prevalent in the community, and just use the language in a saner way.

Idiomatic is often just another name for "how lots of people prefer to do it" or "cargo cult".
