Re: party cancelled
Hi
I think that case sensitivity is a good thing. What I find is that I
try to make my code self documenting by choosing nouns for variable
names and verbs for procedure and function names, and that I often
run out of synonyms for closely related items. Often enough too,
the appropriate word is already in use as a reserved keyword. The
ability to distinguish words by case give a much larger number of
useable names that are suggestive of the action they are associated
with.
The only argument I can see against case sensitivity is just that
people have trouble typing capitals - you know - hitting two keys at
once requires advanced digital coordination.
Why would anybody mind constants? If you use them they're handy, if
you don't they are not. Why deny them to those who like them?
Is there a proposal for a substitute for curly brackets? There aren't
all that many non-alphanumeric keys on my keyboard that don't need a
shift.
I use typechecking when I'm debugging during development. It's very
useful then, and can be turned off when you don't need it. What could
be the problem with it being included in Euphoria as an option,
instead of as a requirement as it is in most other languages that
I've seen.
Party on dudes
Bye
Martin
