In Java:

Code:

 

damnConstructor()
{
}
damnConstructor()
{
String text
String fg
}
damnConstructor()
{
String fg
String text
}

Don't get me wrong. I lover Java's naming scheme with the functionName and the ClassName but I hate the syntax, declare and typecast, and the overloading of constructors and classes. It is CONFUSING.

Code:

 

bloodyConstructor() { foo(); }
bloodyConstructor(String text, String fg) { bar(text, fg); }

Oh, and your robot's about as good at grammar as you are. Proofread him, why don't you?

BTW, I agree I screwed up the example with the Java. Anyway, let's put this to rest. Just choose the right tool for the job and know that every tool is useful. I do happen to like certain aspects of Java.

For example, while I camelCased all my variables in that parser (eg. gotoPosition, driveLength, startPlay), the other people who used my code made it a point to change everything to go_to_a_specified_position, drive_a_certain_length_at_a_certain_gear, and start_an_autonomous_play_and_have_it_parsed_comma_interpreted_and_executed.

One thing bugs me, why are the button in the Swing toolkit not round? They look very ugly.

Swing buttons can have many styles. The default, Metal, has square buttons; there are others, like a Windows theme (on Windows) and an OS X theme (on OS X). I don't know if there are GTK matching themes; I think there's a Motif theme...

I agree with your camelCase.
