How about Monday? (2014-12-15?)<br>
<br>
is chaining of methods good style?<br>
<br>
    McIlroy (versus Knuth)[3] might have something to say about this.<br>
<br>
    Watch the latter half of<br>
    Brandon Rhodes' "The Clean Architecture in Python" presentation[1].<br>
<br>
        Use small simple tools that<br>
        can easily be linked together<br>
<br>
        and/or<br>
<br>
        The shell script is simpler<br>
        because it operates through the<br>
        stepwise transformation of data<br>
<br>
        Does a chain of methods do this?<br>
<br>
    Watch<br>
    Brandon Rhodes' "A Python Æsthetic: Beauty and Why I Python" presentation[2]<br>
<br>
        I forget which one of Brandon's presentations, talks more about<br>
        chaining methods which read from left to right (or top to bottom),<br>
        nested function calls which read from right to left, and mixtures of<br>
        the two. The mixtures are like sprinkling Arabic and Hebrew text in<br>
        English text. How about RPN?<br>
<br>
    My own opinion is that chaining methods is just fine.<br>
    If it is easy to understand, then it is good.<br>
<br>
Separately, the redundancy of piano in piano.PianoBench() is just disgusting.<br>
