Painfully so ;-).3. Is this boring?
I'm pretty sure that all of us at one point or another have agonized on "the best way" to name variables, functions, handlers, etc. until the boredom took over.
Here's what I think, unless every one enforces a standard with the idea that code must be easily readable by others, conceiving one is useless.
A "personal" standard eventually emerges on its own by necessity.
What I found to be useful is naming for example variables storing the same kind of data with the same name in different scripts. Copy/pasting between scripts is easier. I always wanted to write variables in uppercase only, so that they are more visible but never got to, the "tVar" kind of notation using the least amount of characters possible was always sufficient. Arrays are usually distinct by having [] at the end most of the time so it was never an issue for me.
I can't think of many ways to make metatalk easier then it already is.
Structuring the script (from keeping all scripts at one level as opposed to all over the place, to speed/debugging optimization techniques), that would be a more entertaining topic (though not much;-).
