n. [by analogy with George Orwell's thought police ] A mythical team of
|

Gestapo-like storm troopers that might burst into one's office and arrest

one for violating programming style rules. May be used either seriously, to
|
||||
underline a claim that a particular style violation is dangerous, or
|
||||
ironically, to suggest that the practice under discussion is condemned
|
||||
mainly by anal-retentive weenie s. Dike out that goto or the code police
|

|

|

one for violating programming style rules. Also reminiscent of Turing Police
|
||||
from William Gibson's Neuromancer who try to prevent AI systems from
|
||||
breaking out from their constraints.
