I forgot to include a second statement of DOGMA that is related to the
use/obscurity of braces. Iff (and I do mean iff) a programmer is a
clear thinker, then the necessary and sufficient DOGMA necessary to
construct *beautiful* code is:
And GOD invented white space: blessed are those who use white
space with care and attention - even for APL.
And GOD invented non-white space: blessed are those who use
them to construct code and provide comments to illumninate the
obscurity of the code.
