| Feb 23 at 8:45 | comment | added | Albert Retey | @PaulCommentary: it is not very clear from the actual text, but that sentence was more though as an example of a potential convention that a group of users could agree on -- even if it differs from the conventions Mathematica itself uses. Of course any such convention is limiting in some ways and can not address every potential use case of symbols. And you might always find specific cases that are not clearly handled by any convention... | |
| Jan 24 at 4:00 | comment | added | PaulCommentary | Agree with structure/objects naming. "use verbs for symbols used as functions, nouns for symbols used as variables" is too limiting. Mathematica itself uses nouns as List, Association, Cases. Would welcome a more expanded version of the quote above. | |

| Jul 2, 2016 at 14:49 | comment | added | masterxilo | I think we need more coverage of data structures/objects, to which I count the formatting of arguments: Do you use an option, a positional argument, a list of a certain structure - as used by the built-in commands for say level specifications, range specifications, position specifications (list of positive integers). Also, we need to talk about object oriented programming. The builtin commands do f[object, args], but e.g. JavaLink uses obj@method[args] (which I think is a bit contrived). | |
