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?
just wondering...
(I and my team does what NeXT and later Apple did since 1990 and never
felt the need, or regretted that I or any of my colleagues did not used
[iAccount mBalance] instead of [account balance]...)
