Why do some opensouce libraries lack comments?
- by entropy
I don't know if this happens to most Opensource libraries, but many of I know and use (for example OpenSSL, Webkit, ...) they all lack comments, or contain very few comments.
Not to mention their very few documents, it is hard to read their source code. We can hardly understand what a member variable means, or what this function does. This seems to be against coding standard practice
Why is that? How can people collaborate to these opensource with very few comments?
