Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
First one are method name, second one are status name.
Yoda level preference war.
I tend to add is to booleans toreally differentiate between a method name and a status.
That way, it's easier for my dumb brain to spot which is which at a glance.
In Elixir, we mark statuses by using a question mark at the end of the variable name. Something like this:
I like this better than the
is_
prefixdoes '?' have type definition in elixir or this is generally agreed design pattern?
If it's like Lisp, then
?
is just part of the symbol and doesn't have any special syntatic meaning. In different Lisps it's also convention to end predicate names with a?
or withP
(p for predicate)
