I've been programming for 20 years or
so, always love talking about code,
so feel free to rebut any of that — or explain in your own way why you think climate code (or
ModelE if you want to be specific) is «high quality».
I've had a brief look at
modelE, and I have to say «my» model is significantly more readable,
so I hope people don't think it is a typical example (sorry RC folk!).
