| Summary | 0000776: RfC: Remove alists permanently | ||||
| Description | Should we remove alists from the driver permanently? | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
I have to admit: I am not objective here, because the alists are still used in Morgengrauen. Not often, but at some places. Therefore, I will absent. |
|
|
I also used alists in several places in the past and since they are working fine and do not interfere with more up-to-date implementations I would prefer them to stay. Of course, I am also biased by my own older works, as Zesstra stated above but shouldn't exactly those biases be reflected here? If we want a "clean, up-to-date language", we have to throw alists out. But I think, what we rather want to have is a language that is not overweighted with old stuff but not at the cost of sacrificing backwards compatibility, if a lot of people use it. -1 for removing alists (+1 for keeping them ;-) ) |
|
|
I'm in favor of removing alists, but I have no strong arguments for or against. (I'm biased too: Wunderland does not use alists.) |
|
|
+1 for removing alists. (I'm biased, UNItopia threw them out ten years ago.) Of course we should provide replacement-simul-efuns for backward compatibility. |
|
|
-1 for removing alists, as they are still used in Tubmud esp. in some core files of the lib. But I'd agree to set their state to deprecated. |
|
|
After giving it some thoughts again: If we provide replace sefuns, I am actually fine with removing them. So, I will change my vote to +1 for removing from LDMud LPC. |
|
|
We now have a few less alists in Morgengrauen... ;-) |
