I'm not going to comment on the rest of the stuff that was said, which is why I snipped it. I'm not a purist when it comes to OO at all. But I do have to say that while iterators in ruby are amazingly powerful that leave me going wow.. that is so cool.. The thought of how they could be abused and the thought of having to support that abuse in maintenance mode gives me shivers of pure fear. And the fact that classes can very easily be defined in half a dozen places means trying to figure out what code does by finding a class and it's declarations can become a nightmare. Of course no we get off into the ruby versus php war.. maybe I shouldn't start this conversation at all... > don't get me started on iterators in ruby and how flexible it > is in changing stuff (like method parameters - or like > redefining a whole class at runtime). hmmm :-/ pity my ruby > skills suck. :-P > > > > > Cheers, > > Rob. > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To > unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
