I was wondering. What about short circuiting would confuse or otherwise
mess up your code/logic? The condition would fail anyway.
I could understand a non short-circuiting language confusing those that
were used to the other, but I cannot determine a reason to not like this
type of logic.
Has it got something to do with incrementing variables, regardless of the
logic condition? Really, this is not about me questioning your preference.
I am just wondering if there is a world of logic that I have not
encountered yet in which a short-circuit does not fit.
