When I'm trying to get something out of my head and into code, I don't want things getting in my way. 2 things in this scenario get in my way. 1) autocomplete is slow 2) typing is slow. Here's something else to think about on this issue. A good typist, familiar with their material can type faster then most code completions can operate. In studying data entry folks at UofP, I noticed something about the auto-complete functionality that wasn't obvious to me before. It's not how fast the code complete pops up that slow you down. It's the mental shift from typing to reading that takes the most time. You always have to verify that what the auto-complete is going to use is correct. This almost always takes more time then typing it yourself (assuming an expert typist). > >> >> >>> In general, the principle goal of this effort must be improving the >>> clarity of the Lift API for both new adopters and for maintainers. >> >> >> 100% agreed! >> >> In order to make Lift even more popular it is essential to ease adoption. >> Often folks require better documentation and we all know that the code (the >> API) is the first and best source of documentation. >> >> Heiko >> >> My job: weiglewilczek.com >> My blog: heikoseeberger.name >> Follow me: twitter.com/hseeberger >> OSGi on Scala: scalamodules.org >> Lift, the simply functional web framework: liftweb.net >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Lift" group. >> To post to this group, send email to lift...@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> liftweb+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<liftweb%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> >> . >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb?hl=en. >> > > > > -- > Lift, the simply functional web framework http://liftweb.net > Beginning Scala http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430219890 > Follow me: http://twitter.com/dpp > Surf the harmonics > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Lift" group. > > To post to this group, send email to lift...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > liftweb+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<liftweb%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb?hl=en. > -- James A Barrows -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
