Scroll on down to the first common example there champ.

If you really think that's being "too clever" I don't know what to tell you... A big reason I think that argument is bullshit is because writing simple code isn't a goal (what does that even mean?) - readability is a big one, and breaking up every part of every conditional would just lead to unreadable spaghetti

Also, take a look at the languages being discussed. This is a long settled question - every language I've ever used has this.

Including VB, I found out it uses AndAlso...so gross

  1. several languages that are still in use have eager evaluation.

  2. I'm a dumb programmer. The more I need to keep implicit behaviour in mind, the higher the probability I'm writing bugs. Short circuit evaluation is an optimization technique IMO and shouldn't be relied upon for control flow.

  3. The aggressive tone you're using is completely unnecessary and immature, so I'll refrain from responding any further. Have a nice day.
