- I don't see why so many find it useful to distinguish interfaces from other types by means of type naming. A modern IDE will place a nice icon next to the file name. Besides, if you're not familiar with the type, chances are you're going to need to open it up and read the source/docs anyway.i3ensays– i3ensays2013-08-02 18:14:22 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2013 at 18:14
- 2@i3ensays: "Next to the filename" assumes you're looking at it in a package browser or whatever. I'd rather not have to take any action when just reading the code. Yes, I can look everything up, but I'd rather not. It's definitely a subjective thing, but I like the .NET convention for this.Jon Skeet– Jon Skeet2013-08-02 18:26:08 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2013 at 18:26
- this probably depends on your text editor / IDE, but in-code intellisense handles the distinctions for me quite well. For example, when I type "new" while declaring an assignment I can auto-complete the assignment with all known implementing types showing in a subcontext menu.i3ensays– i3ensays2013-09-13 23:27:42 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2013 at 23:27
- 2@i3ensays: That's when you're writing code. I spend more time reading code than writing it... and a lot of that time is in diff views etc rather than IDEs.Jon Skeet– Jon Skeet2013-09-14 08:17:52 +00:00Commented Sep 14, 2013 at 8:17

How to Edit
- Correct minor typos or mistakes

- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
