Hallo, Stefan Turner hat gesagt: // Stefan Turner wrote:
This is a very cool idea. Virtually all my abstractions have an inlet and ii (from iem) for each argument: would definitely be better to have both in one.
Not for me. ;)
I tend to see inlets and arguments as serving a different purpose. Instead of using lots of inlets my abstractions generally use only on or two inlets and internally [route] messages according to selectors.
I would do so even with inlet tooltips or similar helpers, as I find it much more conventient to provide lots of selector-messages but only have a small amount of inlets in my abstractions, because I hate having to find the right inlet to connect to. For abstraction arguments it's slightly different as these are just input once, on object creation. Although I like to even get rid of using too many arguments and instead just use one argument which internally gets transformed into a receiver that is connected to the same [route] as the inlet is. (So maybe inlets and arguments serve the same purpose after all?) Initialization then happens somewhere else (like in a [pool] in Memento).
