let's just say I'm just one of the weirdos on the other side. I read code
if and only if there is a comment :-)

The closest connection bw code and comments I can think of is (eiffel's)
pre/post condition..

but that is just me of course and am not a real proggmr -just a nuby :-)

if fully agree with you and I believe at 100% in pre/post conditions,
class invariant, check clause... and in general in Design By Contract

it answers well at the question : Who do what ? With wich garanties ?

Part of that can be done by well written AND explained unit tests.
That is my current favorite method. Pre/Post can be so limiting for
some things as ruby supports diverse behavior and I tend to use its
dynamics to the fullest (even to the point where the method is
dynamically added so I can't easily add a comment to it).

Just my thoughts. Still a bright green nuby although I am getting
shades of red finally ;-)
