UFCS is good but there are two huge problems:
- code completion in IDE. It'will never work.
By this do you mean completion will be flooded?
If so, then +1.
I would much prefer something like C# extension methods, but
where the first argument has to be typed so that every random
template UFC under the sun doesn't appear in completion.
class Foo {
void foo() {}
}
void bar(this Foo foo, int arg) { } // fine
void baz<T>(this T t) { } // compile error: first arg
can't be a template
void boo(Foo foo) // fine, but can't be used like a UFC
int Main(string[] args) {
Foo foo = new Foo();
foo.bar(1); // fine
foo.baz(); // error, undefined method 'baz'
boo(foo); // fine
foo.boo(); // error, undefined method 'boo'
}
Yes this exactly what I meant. But a few hours after starting the
topic i'm less excited about the feature. I was biased by the
fact that i uniquely use DCD while there is of course also
A.Bothe completion system and the default Visual D completion
(don't know if it's been droped since the last time i used VD but
there was setting to use Bothe's completion system in stead of
VD's one).
