Benefits of idiomatic code

Learning and internalizing the idioms of a language greatly improves your reading abilities. You are able to focus on understanding what the code does instead of wondering why the code is written in an awkward way.

Projects that use idiomatic code benefit from:

• Higher maintainability - Idiomatic code is clear, maintainable, and bug-free
• Faster code reading & Lower cognitive load - People are no longer stopping at every line, trying to figure out what it does, while struggling to keep in mind what came before
• Faster debugging - It's easier to spot bugs in idiomatic code
