Hi everyone,
Brendan Eich emailed me expressing a preference for `GC<>` over `Gc<>`.
I think now is as good a time as any to have the bikeshedding debate :)
I've noticed two styles for acronyms in type names: Java style
(HTTPServer) versus .NET style (HttpServer). Currently we are usually
using .NET style, but inconsistently (e.g. ARC). We never really decided.
Here are a few examples of types in each style:
* Java style: GC<Foo>, ARC<int>, SimpleHTTPServer, XMLHTTPRequest.
* .NET style: Gc<Foo>, Arc<int>, SimpleHttpServer, XmlHttpRequest.
I slightly prefer Java style myself because I think "GC" looks better
than "Gc", because Web APIs use Java style, and because Python does
(e.g. SimpleHTTPServer) and in general we've been following PEP 8. But I
don't feel strongly on this issue.
Thoughts/straw poll?
Patrick
