It reminds me more of the early days of PHP. Having programmed C, I still followed a lot of the rules that C had. PHP far more efficient though, as I wasn't required to jump through so many hoops. Then I started seeing comments that PHP was a horrible language. It turns out that people were commenting about PHP code written by people that didn't learn proper coding techniques (like instantiating variables, or having variables defined as a group at the top of a file). People, new to prgramming, were coding in a "stream of thought" process, and churing out crap that ran just fine. Of course, maintaining or fixing that code was a whole different story.
