Asbjørn UlsbergUnderscore is objectively one of the ugliest characters in ASCII.So why does so many developers prefer the prefix `_` on fields over the use of the built-in `this` keyword in C#?The context is that with the explicit use of `this`, you wouldn't get collision between method parameters and local class fields, because local class fields would always be referenced by `this.field`, and local variables and method parameters would be referenced without any prefix (as per usual).In the Java code conventions, the use of `_` prefixes are explicitly discouraged. Not so in C#, even though it too has the `this` keyword. Why does so many C# developers prefer ugly over elegant? I don't get it.<a href="https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html</a><a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Development</a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Developers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Developers</a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Programming</a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Languages</a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Language</a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Syntax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Syntax</a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/Idiomatic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Idiomatic</a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/CSharp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CSharp</a>

Golden Retriever GFSo in the US if a speed limit is not posted it's generally 35 mph. This converts to 56.327 kph. Nobody is going to set a speed limit of 56.327 because that's not a good number. We don't think like that. It's 50 kph here. But it is a direct <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/translation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#translation</a> of imperial to metric. In a very similar way you cannot translate just one to one. It's just not possible. It's why google translate sucks, language fluency is difficult and why fascism translates and spreads to other countries that speak the same language. Every English speaking nation was hurt by the <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/UK" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UK</a> and the <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/US" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#US</a> but it didn't spread quite so well elsewhere because meaning is not one to one and when it has to pass through translation it loses some impact. Always. People think <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/German" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#German</a> is still a hateful language when it's not. It doesn't even sound that angry but because of what it was in the 1930s and 40s it's something a lot of people still believe. I would guess given how most hate graffiti here is already written in English that English will be the same way for the next century. Language is weird. It's not one to one even if the meanings are. Things are harder to say or easier or are more or less impactful just based on how language is structured. It will lead to fluent speakers of both languages disagreeing on an interpretation. German speakers generally loooove English's gerunds for example because they have to use different verb tenses to make ongoing action work. I digress. People are people everywhere but <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/idiomatic" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#idiomatic</a> expressions and grammatical structure and word connotations can turn into powerful misinterpretations or strong sentences falling flat on non native ears. It's just some food for thought. <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/language" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#language</a>

Ryan Legler<a href="https://indieweb.social/@addyosmani" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@addyosmani</a> This really resonates with the set of idiomatic coding guidelines I’ve been working on at my place of work. Then more we write well typed, idiomatic and declarative code the more approachable and democratizing it is and the less we need to “comment” away our Rube Goldberg-esque code contraptions. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cleancode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cleancode</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/idiomatic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#idiomatic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/commentsconsideredharmful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#commentsconsideredharmful</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/commentedcodesmells" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#commentedcodesmells</a>
