There’s no such thing, but we still chase it every day; and actually, it’s fine! — I know. We need to write code for people, rather than (only) for machines. And mostly, I agree. But still, ever since I was very young and have first heard about computers and software development, I continue to chase technology perfection every day: I really want a programming language that…
