Comment opposing the merge with Rewrite (programming) |

Line 167:
I am against merging this document. The concept and term of refactoring come up in computer science education and literature quite often. Some schools even have entire courses dedicated to refactoring and improving code. I myself found this Wikipedia page when searching for a concise, elegant definition of refactoring. This is a very different concept than simply rewriting a program. When rewriting code, it is expected that the behavior will change. When refactoring code, it is expected that it will not. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/174.16.14.244|174.16.14.244]] ([[User talk:174.16.14.244#top|talk]]) 02:59, 12 March 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
I oppose this merging too, and I agree with the previous comments by MadScientistX11 and "unsigned". Refactoring and rewriting are completely different things. To abuse a car analogy, it's the difference between fixing your car and buying a new one. [[User:Dserodio|Dserodio]] ([[User talk:Dserodio|talk]]) 22:25, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
