[Gambas-user] Better use of prefixes

[Cedron Dawg]

Better vs Worse is a long way from Right vs Wrong.  You guys seem to be lacking debating skills so this is a good exercise.  Misrepresenting what your opponent says belongs in politics, not useful debate.

I think Benoit is wise not to step in, and if a "revolution" were to occur it wouldn't happen without his blessing, nor should it.

Gambas is indeed a quality piece of work.  We a merely quibbling over the color of the paint.  I'm a big proponent if you haven't seen it yet.

Well it's funny that Benoit, dont say anything here ... It's a
formelly dead end.

In fact a convention is a convention. Gambas have been started there
is 20 year now and the project have it's own convention builded on
years on practice.
This convention have grown with the language so it feet with the need
of the project.

You can't come here and just say ... hey... you are in the wrong way
... let me show you the right way ... god is here.

Gambas is a modern language with modern tools for coding and is for a
part a blend of Java VB and C. The postfix convention  can be clear in
english but english is not the only native language in the gambas
world.

$ in the Ide convention say just hey it's a private global var.
The Public var convention naming for me is like a property... just the
name... well just because it's more pretty to say MyClass.Var as
MyClas.iVar.

A convention is a common way to call things.. every one can create one
... but only a few are used really by every one.

As same as for the Gambas Language the construction have been a long process.
