Stockholm syndrome

One thing that annoyed me about C# as a Java guy is that it really wants you to use camel case for function and property names, even private ones. I don’t like it specifically because it’s hard to differentiate between a function/property and a type.

But C# has quite a few keywords and seem to like adding them more than Java.

Maybe that’s their way of ensuring keywords don’t clash with stuff?

Interesting. Thanks!

any new keyword could break backwards compatibility

Wouldn’t that happen anyway with variable and function names? Any type other than primitive/built in ones are usually camel case so lower case keywords are more likely to clash with single word variable and function names, unless you restrict the cases of those too or allow keyword overriding or something.

How do you do nested parameterized types without it becoming ambiguous though? That’s IMO the biggest advantage of the bracket syntax. For example: Map<Tuple<Int, Int, Int> Int>

TIL PHP has statics.

Also, does PHP actually enforce the type declarations? I’d assume it would but knowing PHP…

Doesn’t Basic use Dim a As String?

It’s commonly used in math to declare variables so I assume programming languages borrowed it from there.

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced this kind of confusion in Java but that’s probably because they intentionally restricted the syntax so there’s no ambiguity.

Better than an integer at least.

Damn.

I suppose the obvious question of why Amazon doesn’t have an intuitive way of rate limiting those can be answered by the huge bills people rack up.

Never used AWS but would it help to bake a daemon into your default OS image that shuts it down after 24 hours? That way you need to manually disable it for the ones you want to keep.
