Response to Readability

JP put out another post requesting comments on a Readable (Fluent) approach he’s currently using. I tried to leave a comment, but the system wouldn’t accept anything I used for the captcha… so here goes:

JP writes:

  Run.the<wire_up_global_error_handling>()
   .then<initialize_the_container_for_the_user_interface>()
   .then<initialize_the_user_interface_registry>()
   .then<initialize_the_ui_images_registry>()
   .then<initialize_the_main_menus>()
   .execute();

Here are my humble comments: + “Run” & “execute” seems redundant + The underscores are nice to look at but CamelCasing is also easy to read (for me), and easier to type … I suppose if you’re using your AutoHotKey ninja tricks like JP does, this would be minimum overhead.

So, for the full comparison in code:

  Start.by<wireUpGlobalErrorHandling>()
   .and<initializeTheContainerForTheUserInterface>()
   .and<initializeTheUserInterfaceRegistry>()
   .and<initializeTheUiImagesRegistry>()
   .finally<initializeTheMainMenus>();

Hopefully JP gets this via a trackback.
