Do you honestly prefer environment variables over command line options? I |
| 19 |
prefer command line options because they are part of a clearly defined |
| 20 |
interface. With environment variables, the interface may not be clearly |
| 21 |
defined and it's easy for variables to accidentally leak in, affecting |
| 22 |
internals in unexpected ways. |
