Hey all y'all,
Here's another nice bicycle shed discussion. During the recent
discussion about globals being harmful, Walter told me something that
made me think. I said, hey, there are things that are global - look at
stdout. He said, well, that's a bad thing. He then argued that it would
be better and cleaner to write:
stdout.writeln("Hello, world");
instead of the current:
writeln("Hello, world");
On one hand, I agree with Walter. On the other, I want to avoid the
phenomenon of the all-too-long "Hello, world" example.
What do you think?
