I'm not a big fan of Hungarian notation either. I'm not sure that having a naming convention for Iterators is Hungarian notation, however. For example, if you are doing Windows programming, you'll see stuff like:
DWORD dwFoo = 0; In this case, the "dw" prefix on the variable indicates that we have a DWORD variable. However, the Iterator suffix that I'm proposing here is a suffix on the type names, not the actual variable names. So, if you are writing Rust code, you'd write something like this: let chunks = some_vector.chunks(50); So, the actual variable name doesn't have the Hungarian notation and the types aren't even generally visible since the compiler infers much of that. However, someone reading through the documentation and/or code will see a struct named ChunkIterator and instance know how the struct behaves - as an Iterator. So, I think the suffix serves less to describe the datatype and more to describe class of behavior that the struct implements. Anyway, as I said, I prefer #1. But, I also have done lots of Java programming so I'm probably much more used to verbosity than others. I'm not horribly against some sort of other naming convention, either, of course, but I would like to see some consistency. My main motivation for opening the request was because I created MutChunkIter and then realized that it was named differently than majority of other Iterators. I don't want to be responsible for someone reading through the docs and seeing something thats inconsistent for no good reason! Also, I was reading through some code and happened upon a "Map" and was exceptionally confused about it, until I realized it was iter::Map as opposed to container::Map. I figured I probably wasn't the only person that was going to be confused by something like this. -Palmer Cox On Sat, Dec 21, 2013 at 3:14 PM, Kevin Cantu <m...@kevincantu.org> wrote: > IMHO Hungarian notation is for things the type system and tooling > cannot deal with.
