This is a very good article, however, there is a somewhat opposing force where maintainable and readable code is not the most efficient.
I would like to ask - perhaps I should make this an ask lobsters - what are the opinions of the folks here for languages/programing practices that promote readable but efficient code?
one really good practice i’ve learnt from working at google is to have a policy that no code can be checked in without a code review, and to encourage reviewers to think about readability and maintainability when they review the code.
