best choice was leading lowercase, but seems it's not a choice in vim script.
so I prefer and vote both to use leading `private` for var and method. and in that github ticket I think bram also said he wish it's `consistent`. vs leading underscore was a bit magic, IMO it even may lost in kw search since it needed to ignore leading _ to confirm. -- shane.xb.qian ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Yegappan Lakshmanan <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2023 12:12:35 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Vim9: Default object member access Hi, On Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 9:01 AM shane qian <[email protected]> wrote: > > the default perhaps was `protect`, since looks default it cannot be accessed > out of pkg. > > I think another bram's comment in another github issue ticket (I cannot open > that google link) had > showed his preference which is using `private` keyword vs not magic leading > underscore. > Currently the name of private object member variables are prefixed with an underscore and the keyword "private" is not used. If we use the "private" keyword for private object methods, then it will be different from object member variables. To keep them symmetric, either we should support the "private" keyword for both the private member variables and private methods or support the underscore for both of them.
