Octave and cargo cult programmingHello

[Sergei Steshenko]

Hello,

after learning how and why broadcasting was introduced into Octave I stumbled 
upon the following article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_programming
.

The proper way of introducing broadcasting should have been through compiler 
pragma or explicit user controllable (and off by default) operator overloading.

Now into each of my scripts I insert

warning ("error", "Octave:broadcast");

- I don't like startup files - because of their global nature.


Regards,
  Sergei.
