in thread Language features affect style

When different languages can express different things, it makes sense to me that good coding style would be different. On methods that mutate data, it strikes me as extremely bad style for a method to mutate data under the hood and not make that clear in the name. If you assume that quality bar has been passed, the difference you're talking about disappears.

I'd prefer to deal with code that has passed that quality bar. :-)
