I agree, however, the DLR adds a twist to the formula. > The simple fact is, you're going to be reading loads of sourcecode written > by others in the form of examples and so forth, and if you get annoyed every > time you see stuff you 'hate' - well you're going to be having a pretty > unhappy time. I do not get annoyed if I am reading or programming in a single language. I do like to keep things simple though. If I am working in .NET, I am going to keep a single, consistent style convention for my source code. I am not going to maintain two different conventions just because I am using Ruby in half of my app and C# in the other. Even if it were pure Ruby in IronRuby, I would use .NET guidelines because I am almost certain to be using the .NET libraries in IronRuby. In this case and in my opinion, the framework determines the convention, not the languages used. One of the main reasons why I am interested in IronRuby is because it will give me access to WPF. GUIs with Ruby in Windows, I have learned, is a pretty painful and overall annoying experience compared to C# and WPF. I do have a particular dislike for the underscore key because of its placement on the keyboard as well. _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
