Re:I got the J language working on OpenBSD by MichaelBurge on Sunday September 12, 2021 @04:21PM (#28504530)
You are speaking way too conceptually and not looking at the actual warnings that compilers report.

Some compilers will warn about:

   while (true) { ... }
having a constant condition. The fix is to write:

    for (;;) { ... }
to nobody's benefit.

I've used languages that warn if you use snake_case instead of camelCase, because it violates their preferred naming convention. Or if you accidentally use a tab somewhere, it'll warn about a mix of tabs and spaces.

None of these matter for correctness, yet you're advocating to break the build for correctness.

Idiomatic constructions benefit whoever would read the code (along with choosing and following to a style guide).
