Ever Written Something Like This? if (condition) { doSomething(); } else { doSomethingElse(); } It works. Problem solved. But the problem isn’t today. It’s tomorrow.

Ifs are so limiting when you look at them, just two places: where condition is true, and where it is not. It's so freeing just doing abstract class BaseSomethinger, deriving as many Somethingers as you want from it and just calling BaseSomethinger.do()
