Your expectations may vary depending on where you come from. There are many places one can come from. It's advisable to minimize expectations or assumptions when learning something new, as they could impede your learning process.
- lanternfish 3y agoOn the other hand, learning something tabula rasa takes way longer than if you scaffold it with assumptions. Otherwise, each new skill/language you learn would take as long as the first one.
- IggleSniggle 3y agoYes, absolutely. Thank you for clarifying what I was saying. Regardless of where you are coming from, it's likely to be the places where there unstated assumptions / cultural-norms that differ from your own where you will experience the biggest "lift" when encountering a new technology. The more a culture aligns with a "lowest common denominator," the more it will be readily understood, and the less it does, the more it will act as an exclusivity gate. Either could be desirable or undesirable depending on your goals. It's good to be aware of the dynamics so that you can make an informed choice about how to present your code.

- ktm5j 3y agoIt's natural to have expectations based on your experiences.. I think the person you replied to is just trying to help people who might misunderstand go based on those expectations. I think you're getting unnecessarily deep here.
- mseepgood 3y agoIn that case, it would have been necessary to specify the language they come from. The only hints given were 'classes' and 'modules'. Is it Java, Python, JavaScript, C++, Swift, Ruby, VB.NET? All these languages have classes and modules, and they all draw the line of encapsulation at different layers.
