One small thing. The article slightly leads you astray on something. MVVM is not a presentation pattern, it's an architectural pattern. That does have implications.

Exactly. I have had this realisation now. I am planning to halt writing code as of now and work on a small POC to get to know things better. Another reason for the pause is that I am making heavy use of DLR and I have started to believe that the way I had designed and the way I am implementing it is going to result in:
1. Large start up time.
2. Complex caching mechanisms involved.
3. More casting and conversions that I can live with.
4..n: Many more.
Need to get back to drawing board.

I don't see how using the Docklands Light Railway has any effect - although the start up time could be a little longer!

Some days you are the Roadrunner some days you are the Coyote, I have had a very awkward 'thing' this week as well as moving/not moving/production delivery to make (finding the tools for it). The thing was to improve/debug a test rig written in an unpopular language (look at my previous posts in the lounge to figure out what) which I am being forced to use. I asked a question which reflection could have been better worded and got a reply from Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov of basically rtfm which was not a bad idea, As I managed to hide for a day and a bit and get the darn thing working...no info, badly written & useless commented code. Never mind I get to play with the next instrument next week...

Unfortunately, that is not a language issue, it is a developer issue.
I have seen all of these in multiple languages: FORTran, C, BASIC (whatever variation).
In FORTran, it was the use of a language feature (multiple return), but no explanation as to what is was doing. Since this was before online documentation and printed manuals were scarce, I asked the developer about it. His response, repeatedly, "It's a multiple return." Finally, I said, "That's like saying a car is a car, but if I don't know what a car is, that doesn't help." His next reponse, "I'll rewrite it." Now, there was nothing wrong with the code, just with the lack of documentation or explanation.

Mmm, the Elephant-er who wrote this was not a programmer (I mean Matrix animations, swirling patterns on the form & best yet fart sounds when something went wrong & Star Trek transporter sounds when something went right  ) The comments were there they were just wrong such as the Gem 'This timer ensures the right response in a button click with no timers in! the instructions were to "just make it work", my response was 'how?, voodoo?' , 'oh, is that bad', 'no its worse than that'

Ahh yes, but some languages make it easier to write cr@p and compile C will let you create a mess but you have to create it your self and know how you did, other languages will let you write a mess compile it every freekin time!

In regards to FORTRAN multiple return, do you mean "alternate return" by chance. These were were used as way to deal with errors. There is plenty of documentation available online if search for: "FORTRAN alternate return".

For multiple return, this was back in 1987; as I said, online documentation was not available.
A multiple return from a subroutine provided, as the name implies, multiple resume points when the subroutine ended.
For example, BLAH(InVar, 10, 20, 30).
Within BLAH, there was a RETURN 1, RETURN 2, RETURN 3.
RETURN 1 would resume at label 10, RETURN 2 at label 20, RETURN 3 at label 30.
If the naming has changed in the last 27 years, then it may be an alternate return, but, I'm not using FORTran now and the example given was an example of a user, not meant to be language specific.
