I'm not deeply into comments myself and try to avoid > needing them by making my code /very/ obvious. Sometimes I succeed. Obvious is just a function of use. Ruby blocks were all but obvious the first time I saw them, and now are all but arcane. I've been using the method_missing idiom for at least three months now and to me it's become about as obvious as Ruby blocks. Probably, the question is: is it worth to learn an idiom so that it becomes obvious? Of course the answer is ``it depends''. If it makes the screen less crowded and centralizes similar functionalities thus reducing the likelihood of mistakes, and also avoids me writing external arcane code that crowds not only its own screen but also another one, well, the answer for *me* is yes, it is worth learning till it becomes obvious. > What I'm still not quite seeing, though it is coming slowly out of the > mist, is what the /idea/ of the FileHandle object is.

I am not very knowledgeable in XP, but I doubt that mailing lists are advocated as a bood pairing strategy. > In a sense, FileHandle needs _selling_ before people use it. In order to sell, sometimes one doesn't need to tell, it is enough to show. (If it were for telling, I'd hardly be able to learn any Unix shell commands from man pages. All my learning there comes from examples like precondition-command-postcondition, and that might explain why I often find tests more explanatory than words.) > I'm interested in this as an XP proponent, because XP teams rely > internally on talking all the time. I see. Unfortunately, we're not in an XP team, we're just in the ``I wrote this and maybe someone else might find it useful'' context. (BTW, we're also in the ``I don't know you and don't know what's clear to you and what not, just ask and I'll be glad to try and explain.'') Anyway, I'll be happy to try and develop something according to XP next time, provided that you give me some kind of explicite notice in advance. > No object like this would likely just appear on an XP team: it would > come into being slowly, motivated by something that was happening in > the code, Oooh, it was *very* motivate by something that was happening in *my* code. <g> > If we look at Dave and Andy's Ruby book we see some really good > examples of how objects like FileHandle are best presented: each I will take it as a very flattering compliment the idea that I might be able to write like Dave and Andy. > What's perhaps most interesting about that is that you wrote > FileHandle in response to my own question, my own need, Well, no, I just had new ideas in a discussions and applied them to what I already needed. > Good stuff!
