Named parameter passing - Re: procs and blocks
I would like to see Ruby support better named parameter passing as well. I guess the hash coersion is nice, but I long for something more... I really think there is an oppourtunity to let Ruby do something that other languages fall sort on, and that could be very good for the future of the language. IMHO using named parameters gives you some great advantages in a number of situations. At the moment, these stand out in my mind: 1) The ability to pass parameters to a function in any arbitrary order. 2) The ability to arbitrarily add parameters and change which parameters are required vs optional without being forced to change the calling interface to the function itself. (Great for reverse compatibility of public interfaces!) The problem with most languages (at least those I've worked with) is that named parameter passing is not supported as part of the language itself. Typically, from the perspective of the language, you just pass a single value to the function, which happens to be some sort of hash structure or object containing the named parameter list. It then falls on the programmer to manually write code to: 1) Check that the parameters which are required were actually passed. 2) Set defaults values for parameters that were optional. 3) Complain about any invalid parameters that were passed With the more traditional parameter passing scheme, the parser itself checks all those things for you. It assignes passed values to the variables defined in the function definition, it can warn you if too many or not enough arguments were passed, and the parser itself can set defaults for variables that are optional (assuming the case where you define defaults in your function definition). The parser is able to do all this because the syntax itself allows for the required information to be included in the function definition itself. It would be great if those same abilites existed for values passed in a named parameter fashin. That is syntax existed that would allow the function definition itself to contain: 1) What parameters names are valid 2) Of those that are valid, which are required vs optional 3) What to use for defaults for optional parameters With this info in the function definition, you could get all the advantages of using named parameters, yet the parser itself could take care of all the validation that now has to be checked manually in code. At one point I read something that said Matz was thinking of building support for named parameter passing into the next version of the language. ( I admit that was quite a while ago.) Is something like the above possible without breaking reverse compatibility? I don't know, but sure would like to see a discussion on it...
