Excellent initiative. In Moose we get propertyNamed: propertyName propertyNamed: name ifAbsentPut: value propertyNamed: propertyName ifNil: aBlock propertyNamed: name put: value So which one do we take? Stef Le 15/8/15 10:24, Marcus Denker a écrit :
Hi,
I am now adding a property API to Global/Class Variables and Instance Variables (aka Slots).
When looking at the other property APIs, we have 4 different conventions:
1) CompiledMethod and Behavior:
propertyValueAt:
2) RB AST Nodes: propertyAt:
3) Ring: annotationNamed:
and (4) Morphic uses: valueOfProperty:
I would like to unify 1-3 as this is all the same use case: attaching meta data to the structural model.
I propose to unify the API to the same as the RB AST: just #propertyAt:. Morphic we should not touch...
