Perhaps you could find out by trying to implement such a
system? That's what I usually do.
You haven't described the problems you want to address in any
detail, so you're the only one who knows what would make sense.
That means you're the only person who could even hope to
estimate the difficulty. Plus it would be a fair bit of work
that nobody else seems that interested in, so unless you're
offering to pay, you're the only one motivated to do the work.
But perhaps, if you presented your results, they would be
interesting enough for others to adopt.
Yes, but the fact is they would not appreciate my work because
they do not appreciate it now. You might appreciate it but the
fact is, people that bitch and complain about someone saying they
have a problem with something and that "Do it my way attitude"
are people who don't appreciate other peoples work, they only use
it to further their own self.
So, since I don't have to implement it, and because it is not a
huge problem, I won't. Screw the assholes who try to shut down
people and progress just because they are assholes(and who have
no good reasons). It's one thing to debate a topic to find the
best solution and it's another to try to shut it down based on an
irrelevant argument.
You know, not everything is complex:
What is proposed here does not change the source any one bit. It
only adds to it. It is basically inheritance(or a product). It
doesn't distort the code(e.g., map it to a random alphabet) nor
does it introduce any bugs.
All it can do is add bloat. That is it!
So, what they are bitching about, really, is they don't want
bloat. But they can't see that because they are only conformist
and they don't want anything to interfere with them conforming.
But see, the problem with bloat is not necessary a problem. It is
only a problem if the bloat is not useful. E.g., a class
inheriting another class is adding bloat, so to speak.
So, the issue should be how much bloat, how to control the bloat,
and how to make the bloat useful...
But guess what? No relevant discussion on these meaningful issues
of the problem(the ones that, if they could be solved would solve
the problem for everyone within reason) because they shut down
the argument with there authoritative and mindless drivel.
So, no, I will not help out, it's obviously no one wants help. I
do have to do a risk analysis assessment because it does cost me
my time. What I see is that I won't invest it because I won't
invest in people with such attitudes which further helps them
along and only generally strengthens their attitudes(because it
must be working, right?).
I will not play the shit slinging game. You or others will think
I am slinging shit because I don't conform, but it's precisely
why I am not slinging shit, because I am not conforming to the
shit slingers. Of course, that assumes I am not a shit linger but
it does prove that only one side slings shit. I let the
historical record be my proof of who slings shit. They should be
easy to spot because they have the smelly hands.
A question I propose to you is that if a shit slinger slings shit
at someone and that person throws the shit back at the original
shit slinger, are they too a shit slinger? If so, are they
equally culpable?
