an aside. this thread is interesting, but over my head for the most part. i can grok snippets but don't know the overall map lay of the land. if somebody were ever so bored / kind as to:
* write up a blog post that explained the 3 or so main alternatives. * write up pro's and con's of each. and/or * write up a story of the slippery slope(s) involved, starting from code with no sharing, no subtyping, no subclassing etc; thence onto what the alternatives are for DRY; thence onto how they falter. in pithy succinct terse language, that might be a nice contribution that would help orient and educate people like me who just don't know enough to understand how to reason through these issues. :-) _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
