tbf it's probably not representative of the entire generation. You just don't hear from the smart ones because they already know the answers. I assume anyway...

You know how it is in programming.
When you're doing something right people will wonder if you've done anything at all.
That's why you never hear of the good ones.
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

Yeah, its really hard to remove those pesky inverted commams from a string.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

I once asked myself the question how I could add them... Of course nothing that a quick Google search couldn't answer.
Removing them... Now that's a whole different matter. Perhaps a nice addition for .NET 5.0? Optional inverted commams for everyone!

Why remove them? Why not just un-invert them? Much more challenging.

I found this line of Lua code in a graphical application and thought it qualified as both weird and wonderful.
local PI = math.asin(1) * 2
What an interesting little trick to calculate Pi.
Unfortunately the math library has math.pi. If that was not implemented in an earlier version I would write the whole 3.14etc. rather then use this mathematical trick.

Good luck with that!

Four decimal places ought to be good enough for anyone.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

In my view, in the absence of a math.pi this is a far more sensible option than the whole 3.14etc. It's not a trick.

While PI = math.asin(1) * 2 may be mathematically correct, it's probably not the most accurate representation of π you could create. It depends upon the arcsine function implementation. You might get lucky in case they shortcut the value for an argument of 1, and simply return the library's value of π. If not, they're going to do the arcsine calculation using a numerical method that will approximate something close to π.
In other words, it would be more precise if the library simply gave you its value of π. For casual calculations, the difference may not matter. If you're doing a simulation, having your value of π off by a couple bits could have long-term consequences.

Interesting, that asinine use of a math function.

The topic actually contained two full stops. After reading the first few lines I had already expected it to contain none at all. However they didn't really help. 
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.
