I'm a little late to the game, but my vote would be for keeping all lift-related attrs under the lift prefix. I don't feel like we need to attach any meaning the the lift prefix other than that it's something that lift will use. Derek On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 9:39 PM, marius d.

Well I said what I had to say. My problem is not really the prefix name but the existence of other prefixes then lift, that are interpreted by lift. It's just how I see things now and nothing on this thread provided sufficient arguments to convince me otherwise ... not much else for me to do if

Marius, I have a ton of respect for your opinion and I appreciate your analysis. I have been following this thread and thinking, what does the lift: prefix mean? In my mind, it means this thing will be changed based on evaluating some code. So, using the lift: prefix for something that also

Have we been misunderstanding each other? The lift prefix can be a snippet invocation as an attribute too. Thus the fact that it's an attribute does not separate reserved names from user space snippet names. - marius d.marius.dan...@gmail.com wrote: David,

It has been debated many times in slightly different contexts. To me it is more about clarity. We add a new prefix now, tomorrow add another one and so on. People would have to remember what goes where and mix things up. To me lift prefix is enough and quite clear. It is more than just s snippet

I think everyone agrees in concept, that an arbitrary prefix sets a bad precendent, which is why it is no longer do:par. But on the other hand, if the part after lift: is either a reserved word or a user word--a snippet name--then the more reserved words, the more you limit snippet names.

I realize that I may be a little late here but I do have second thoughts about liftx prefix. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of it. I understand that these attributes are not really snippets or built is snippets but is this an enough reason to introduce a new prefix? Personally I don't think so.

Could that be changed to lift:concurrent or lift:par etc. (see email on scala-user from Marting Odersky mentioned the future use of 'seq' and 'par' in concurrent collections)? Why use a different prefix than everything else built in to lift? And 'lazy' is arguably not what's happening. Thanks.
