Strawman detection activated.

The goal of giving money is not to make those who receive it more educated, better parents or making them politically active. I mean, why did I have to say that?

(The amount of money is also unlikely to enbale to make savings for the future.)

The goal is that their immediate poverty decreases. Why is the author insistent on the measurement of unrelated stats? Because he has an ax to grind.

OTOH, 99% of use cases don't care about performance and just want a portable implementation.

While it could be useful to have a "fast" variation that offers no guarantee at all, what you would end up with (because people are vain) is that too may people would use those instead "because perf", even though the actual usage is not performance critical, and have code that breaks whenever the compiler or platform changes.

You're focusing on my not knowing the syntax and specific of the languages. It's still just giving names to things that did not have a name. Whether the name is a variable name, a function name, a type name, doesn't matter.

It's still a fancy, obscure jargonish way of saying "name things".

So.... this is just a fancy name for the advice "give your functions a name"?

The example he gave is just replacing an anonynous lambda for addition with a named function call Add?

Maybe I'm too critical, but this is a thing I see in many fields:

1. Take a simple well-known idea and give it a new obscure name. 2. Write blogs, give lectures, organize summit and conventions. 3. Profit!
