Hi!
I wonder if I should name my class either "TymlNormalString" or "TymlStringNormal", taking into account that these classes among 20 others describe an syntax tree for my custom language "Tyml" and that there is a base class "TymlString" and there will be normal strings, escaped strings and implicit strings.
The first has the advantage that it is more natural, the last that IDEs will sort the types and files alphabetical which will simplify finding the wanted type.
I know that this cannot be answered finally, but I am interested in your opinions and your arguments.

A naming war! It has been a while.
Call it TymlNormalString, I'm sure you can remember the names of the three types of string, no IDE assistance required.
|
|
|
|
|
It was not my intention to start a naming war, I was just unsure how to decide.
But since almost all permutations were suggested, it seems that it doesn't matter how I will decide.
However, the majority seems to prefer "TymlStringNormal" which I now prefer too.

My vote is for "TymlStringNormal" ... I think having sorted object names is very useful in debugging, and in using IntelliSense.

What use does it have during debugging?

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

If it weren't there, the program wouldn't run, so debugging would stop.
Seems pretty cut and dried, to me.

NormalTymlString
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
TymlStringNormal
TymlStringEscaped
TymlStringImplicit
...would be easier to read and understand...

Make Tyml and String a namespace
Thus Tyml.String.Normal 
|
|
|
|
|
This will fail since "String" (and "Array" for "TymlArray" and "Object" for "TymlObject") is a keyword in many programming languages and the abstract class "TymlString" then would be Tyml.String.String. Having a class and a namespace with the same name is possible but not recommended (at least in C#).
|
|
|
|
|
It won't fail if you use full namespace declarations but it will cause bugs which is surely the purpose of any naming scheme
|
|
|
|
|
Having 'Tyml' in all your class names is ugly. The classes should, imo, be called BaseString and NormalString, in a namespace like Tyml.SyntaxElements or Tyml.Domain.

What, Skinner's been proved wrong again?
Golly, I'm really surprised that someone who based all his theories on human psychology on the idea that rats understand what "reward" and "punishment" are could ever be disbelieved.
I mean, it's obvious that when a rat gets an electric shock instead of a lump of cheese, he'll think to himself: "Oh dear, I am receiving punishment for not going the other way in the maze. I am such a bad and dishonest rat. I shall try harder to follow the rules of etiquette and good behaviour better in future."
A bleeding idiot, Skinner -- but psychology isn't a science, so real scientists don't look at it too deeply, meaning that he could get away with cr@p like that.
Here's some more believable psychology:
If you put five blokes in a room, and one of them tells another that he's wrong about something, several pissing contests will start within five minutes.

Saw the situation of the San Diego bush fires on the news. Not good and hope it's resolved soon. I know the effects and devastations they can cause from the extensive news coverage of the bush fires in our neighbours Australia.
Hope nobody is effect and thoughts go to you...

I live and work in San Diego, but South of the major fires. Some of my colleagues live in areas that got surrounded by the fires. As far as I know, all of them are doing fine and their houses are still standing.
The weather started changing Friday afternoon and here at 1:30 AM, the temperature is at the lowest it has been this week - it looks like it is at 19°C (66°F) and the high temperatures are expected to drop steadily until Tuesday.
On Wednesday at work, I had the news streaming live on my second monitor when this "Firenado"[^] showed up.

After I had my dinner tonight, I laid down on my couch to watch the news. Now I am looking for the guy that knocked me out with a hammer  . The past 10 days have been one big blur of events and paperwork - I guess it finally caught up with me.

It sounds like you are pregnant.
Are you pregnant?

Although that might explain some things, it would raise a lot of other questions. Not to mention all the media attention it would stir up.
