		mnarayan01 on Sept 26, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: John Carmack on Inlined Code The #region directive in c# is pretty awesome for this and I really wish every language had something similar. Sadly I'm not sure there's a great way to do it for e.g. ruby and obviously the situation would be even worse for homoiconic languages.

I used to use them, but now I view #regions as a massive code smell.
