28 December Partial amazing (zz)Did you know in 2.0 both C# and VB use the partial keyword to indicate a class definition will be spread across multiple declarations?
Don’t they always use different keywords?
How did this happen?

Dear Team,
Yesterday, that ‘other’ language team decided to use partial as a keyword in their language. We need the same feature, but you know we try to avoid sharing keywords with that ‘other’ anguage. We have about 3 days to think something up. Email me your suggestions.

Dear Team,
I’ve seen no suggestions yet. You people better put on your brainstorming caps before we have the marketing team come in.

Dear Team,
So far we’ve come up with: “Incomplete”, “Fractional”, “Limited”, and “Unfinished”. Of these four only “Fractional” has a fighting chance. The others look insulting in code. I think you people are just using the Word thesaurus or something. Get with it!

Dear Team,
I’m sorry to say we are going to be using partial as a keyword in our language, too. I feel we missed an opportunity to
differentiate ourselves, and I hope we never miss another opportunity like this one again.
Tim: Your idea about “HalfAss Class” was good, but it didn’t get by legal.
Thanks for the effort. |
