I find it annoying when I have to search other people's
procedures for variables. A typical sequence of statements is
sprinkled with declarations (Java, C, Perl, ...) and no oher
indication of the newly introduced variables other than
two identifiers before "=" or ";".
As Dmitry says, there is an *implicit* scope only.
When I'm up the wall I speculate whether this viewpoint on language
use is driven by a desire to achieve income by obfuscation?
The tempting quick hack?
To me, ad hoc variables between statements and Java cl***** fully
named in source but without "im****t" at the head of the source file
are similar in character.
The good news is: computers can help us with getting the
necessary "paper work" (declare block etc.) done; use a
good editor.
