Way too many parenthesis to keep track of what's inside what (and some are entirely unnecessary).
Parenthesis are never unnecessary as long as they increase clarity, in my opinion.
True. Especially with math, sometimes it's better to be explicit even when order of operations already does what you want. But I was mostly talking about this, which really doesn't have any redeeming quality:
getTimeDiff( (eventLog.size()-totalMatches))
And then there was LISP (well, Scheme, but anyway...):
(define (factorial n) (let recurse ((n n) (acc 1)) (if (zero? n) acc (recurse (sub1 n) (* n acc)))))
And then there was LISP (well, Scheme, but anyway...):
(define (factorial n) (let recurse ((n n) (acc 1)) (if (zero? n) acc (recurse (sub1 n) (* n acc)))))
every time i see lisp:

Of course then Lisp was a contemporary of Fortran when teh programmers were just happy NOT to have to program in machine code any more....
I believe also that the indent also had been invented by then (as in - its always possible to make code look crappy(er) by running it all together into a contiguous block)
