Pyramid of doom (programming)
In computer programming, the pyramid of doom is a common problem that arrises when a program uses many levels of nested indentation to control access to a function. It is commonly seen when checking for null pointers or handling callbacks. Two examples of the term are used to a particular programming style in JavaScript,[1] and the nesting of if statements that occurs in dot notation languages when one of the objects may be a null pointer.[2]
