Stylistic question.

[Mike Kerner]

J.:
Not true on the remote debugging.
Everything I write is for mobes. Literally everything. Except for the
server code for the mobes, but comparatively speaking, there are many,
many, many more lines in the mobe code than there is in the server code.
All of these behaviors are in script-only-stacks. I have zero difficulty
debugging them with the remote debugger.
I have not found that I have too many files, but I also organize them into
folders, as needed, and I do just about all of my editing in Sublime, which
makes keeping the project straight very easy.
The dislike I have for switch is a personal thing. I get that it's very
similar to the way switch is used in other tongues. Maybe it's the way it
looks. Maybe it's the break at the end of each segment. I don't know. It
always feels clunky to write and it feels clunky to read.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
