Folks, Over the year that Lift has had Can[T] as a replacement for Scala's Option[T], the name "Can" has required a lot of explaining.
As we make the final push into freezing Lift's APIs, do we want to change the name of Can to something else or should we leave it as Can. Alternatives are: - Cup - Box Both of which can be Full/Empty. Thanks, David PS -- The Scala collections classes are getting a redo for 2.8. I've been gently pestering Martin to expand Option to have a Failure case. If this happens (it's not really likely for a couple of reasons), Can will be orphaned. -- Lift, the simply functional web framework http://liftweb.net Collaborative Task Management http://much4.us Follow me: http://twitter.com/dpp Git some: http://github.com/dpp --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
