Using extended characters like λ for your library is pretty hostile to users.
- bevacqua 12y agoI don't, it's just the name I use on the readme. The library is published as the `contra` global.
- colinramsay 12y agoAnd in all of the examples on the github page. Why not just get rid of the λ variable and use `contra` directly? I guarantee this will confuse/frustrate people otherwise.
- callum85 12y agoYeah it will confuse some but it'll probably pique some people's interest too. People like memorable little oddities sometimes.
- colinramsay 12y agoSure, but not in their code. All this does is blind people to the genuine values this project might have.
- akerl_ 12y agoIf it's the name you use in all your examples, that's what you're recommending your users do. Recommending an extended character for that is hostile.
- callum85 12y ago'hostile' is a pretty hysterical choice of word
