The beauty of Objective-C (inherited from SmallTalk) is that it tries
to treat all kinds of things (objects, classes, protocols,
invocations, ivars, local vars...) in a similar way. With KVC, often
one does not know (and should not know) if there is an ivar, or a pair
of accessor methods. So why so many of you are trying to make the life
complicated? In what way "account" is communicating less useful
information then say "iAccount"? And why the hell so many developers
are happy to write
[accountList lastObject];
but when they add their own NSArray category, they write
[iAccountList mFisrtObject];
Very often I believe all these reverse hungarian notation & friends.
are there to detract the attention from doing the programming to
talking about doing programming. Or are they there to satisfy some
unconscious masochistic and sadistic needs?
Georg,
Couldn't agree more. Writing mThisAndThat rather than thisAndThat just
distracts from the problem at hand. Especially those who are schooled
in Microsoft Visual Studio seems to have a hard time NOT prefixing all
kinds of names in the programs with some kind of short-hand notation
that is supposed to mean something.
