The OP didn't mention any religious worldview: morality is not dependant on any degree belief in any religion!
And trust me, not all christians have any discernible moral fibre whatsoever - the ongoing fun-and-games with the Catholic church and child abuse indicates that. But that is a discussion for a different site ...

OriginalGriff,
As you have noted, there are bad players within what can be considered the Christian realm. However, a bunch of bad actors fails to taint the whole crowd. We will find this true in almost every institution. That said, I am assuming that continuing the discussion on this part of the forum is acceptable. I say that because I have a question.
If morality is not dependent in religious belief, in your understanding, from where do standards for morality originate?

This is starting to edge towards the kind of discussion that isn't allowed here as there are "better sites" to cover it, so I'll stop it there.

It is German adoption into English

I doubt that.
The English word for the German "spiel" is "game".
The English spiel means something entirely different.

Kinks are good. Old school Brit band. Listened to their songs on car radio on the way to the drive in.

It occurs to me that my least favorite programming language is not actually determined by the language but rather by the coders writing awful code in that language. Even C# fits the "least favorite language" with some of the crap I've seen.
I suppose I'm overthinking the question, but it was interesting when I started writing pure JavaScript for some personal projects and discovered I didn't hate it. I still prefer TypeScript, but my loathing of JavaScript was actually because of the code I had to touch that other people wrote. Functions that were a couple thousand lines long. Nested functions. Nested promises. Absurdly complex business logic implemented on the front-end with dozens of nested if-else.
The way I was writing Javascript made working with Javascript a pleasant process. Anyways, it's an interesting realization (to me at least) that my dislike of a language is often based on my dislike of the previous coder's code.

While in general I agree with you, as a language designer it is easy to fall into the trap of saying that spaces and page layout don't matter. This makes a fragment like:

On the other hand... allowing the developer to format his code as he likes is better than requiring the developer to format his code a certain way.
For the most part, C-like languages don't even require line breaks, which makes code generation much easier.

True enough! See the bad example of Go where you must place the brace on the same line as if and else .
