Discussion on: Demystifying the Long Arrow "Operator"

View post

Replies for: If you don’t mind me asking, why are decrement and increment considered bad practice? They seem relatively simple and straightforward.

Honestly, I don't consider it bad practice myself. I agree with your sentiment. It's just that it's only bad practice in the context of the "long arrow operator".

I'll let others answer your original question for you. I'm sure it has turned up in one of the discussions at some point.

In whole context,

It has some bad relation with compiler optimizations. Don’t know what we have nowadays.
It’s not good for abstraction. I.e.: ‘value += iterateAmount’.
