Re: PaceEntriesAllTheWayDown




Before we close this on the Atom-syntax list perhaps we can just see if this would be of use on the atom-protocol list first.


So Hi, atom-protocol guys! What advantages would there be to having the head element be an Entry structure? Would this allow for simplifications in the protocol?

I am not so up to scratch with the protocol spec at present. But it seems like it could make a difference.

Thanks for you support Henry, but my confidence is doing fine :)


It's just not that important. There are other ways to accomplish the same goal with a little cruft, and it's not worth sitting through a long argument about what's "natural", OO programming analogies, and the dissonance of a given proposal with the contents of Graham's mind.
