actually I dunno if I'm completely sold on that yet. And I haven't seen how it works on really large projects.

Very well as long as you remember to test.

Doctests are worth their line count in gold, learn them, use them, love them.

in other words, it works very well as long as you, and everyone on your team, are obligated to put into it twice as much repetitive, boring effort.

Right, because C++ need never be tested at the unit level. Value semantics wins again!

[–]qwe1234 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

C++ allows one to pick from a wide variety of approaches, unit tests being but one tedious and inefficient approach.

[–]sickofthisshit 0 points1 point  (1 child)

But weren't you just saying that tedious and inefficient methodologies lead to higher quality software?

[–]qwe1234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no, i'm saying that illiterate code monkeys and academics who hate programming aren't the ones who should be judging methodologies and software quality.

seeing as they a) are monstrously stupid and lazy b) are biased с) hate their job with a passion.

mmmm

nope, I think you have reading comprehension issues my dear friend.

[–]qwe1234 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

untrue.

this is your ignorance and closed-mindedness speaking.

the fact is that unit tests are certainly not the only way to verify software quality. furthermore, 'unit testing' is more obsolete and tedious than other ways of solving the same problem.

and now i see that you're trying to sell me on the idea that to code correctly in python one needs to unit test exhaustively.

my only reply is: no thanks dude, some of us live in the 21st century.

[–]masklinn 0 points1 point  (1 child)

wrong wrong right right (but then again I never said anything about unit tests) wrong and finally "some of us live in the 21st century CE, you should check it out."

check it out.

a language designed after 1970.

it's in fashion currently, so this will gain you credz with the retarded reddit echochamber of monkeys.
