Only the standards people care about standards. We (programmers) want to just get things done. We don't care about the standards. No one reads the standards. Also no one cares about portability. All computers have been the same for the last 20 years.

We, developers, care about standards, because we want to get things done once.

Right, then comes the day another OS or CPU needs to be supported and some clever developers learn their lesson about language standards during a couple of late nights tracking down production issues.

Seems way more efficient to not care about standards and invest a couple late nights once every five years.

Exactly. You are the real MVP in this thread. We should team up.
