Actually Joseph, I DON'T have a problem with underscores in PRIVATE
variable names... the whole point is that they are private, thus never
accessed from outside the component. So really my beef is twofold:
1) You are using a character that *does* have a syntactical meaning in
the language (as I've mentioned before, used to access inner java
classes)
2) You are using this character in PUBLIC variables, forcing one to
slather dollar signs all over any code that interacts with those
components.
Your comment:
"As far as linking, the purpose of a linker is to create a continuous
memory space from disjoint memory spaces. Please refer to compiler
theory to understand the principles."
Is very typical of the "non-arguments" you make... you didn't tell me
why createObject()/cfinvoke is a "dynamic linker", you just tell me what
you believe a linker to be and then throw in some condescending drivel.
I actually can't even remember why we're talking about this... it has
nothing to do with the original topic:
"Is denial the quickest way around best practice?"

What do you call these examples? Frog scope?
<cfcomponent hint="Product">
<cfset _productID = "" />
<cfset _name = "" />
<cfset _description = "" />
<cfset _price = "0" />
