I disagree to a few details from this opinion.
I find that I stumble about open issues here where a final consensus has not
been achieved for the design of the relevant application programming
interfaces so far.
Which data should be provided by the following means?
- object attributes
- methods / member functions
No, you stumble on issues where the designer did not communicate what was
intended and the implementation language unfortunately hid the
miscommunication. If python did not have so many implicit type
conversions then the misunderstanding would have been apparent from the
start.
My inclination is to remove all fields from the python representations
ofmetavariables.
Would any more software development partners like to share their final
design decisions here?
I doubt anyone has ever used this information as anything other than a
string...
