nope, don't get it. Don't care to. 

also, how is "set this to that" HARDER to read than "this = that". for one, the latter is more ambiguous.

But again, please, the entire obsession with minor bits of extra typing in programming is something I've never understood, nor do I care to have it explained to me. I understand the history of it, but we no longer need to worry about filling 4K of RAM.

I find it depressing that in many ways, programming is still stuck in the mid 1980s.

Hey John,

You have an opinion, and you don't care about anyone else's opinion?   :D

That doesn't make you right.

I've heard it explained over and over. It still sounds like the most picayune problem in programming. Ever.
