I am a blockhead. Specifically, I like block-structured code. What is "Block Structured" code? Quite simply, block-structured code is structured as a tree. If block-structured code was written out in Ruby, it would look like a nested set of arrays: ["something", ["something", "else"], ["something", ["more", "complicated"]], "again"]. It's a little easier to understand as an outline:
root
one
one_a
one_b
one_b_eye
one_b_eye_eye
one_b_eye_eye_eye
one_b_eye_vee
two
three
three_a
three_b
four
his seems to be a matter of taste: Lots of very smart people strongly dislike block-structured code. They prefer what I would call "Highly Factored" code: code
