Programming warts exists as a wiki about deficiencies in programming languages, and the best ways to work around them, ideally in a clean and efficient manner.
As a programmer, it is key that one understands all the tools at one's disposal, and to pick the best tool for the job. Occasionally, the wrong tool is chosen, and the programmer encounters flaws or "uglyness" in the language. This site exists to document these flaws, and ideally, to find elegant solutions around them.
