Because this is far simpler, and once started, cannot lapse. When he tests his code, if he forgot to update the interface description, he'll get errors that notify him. You can be mostly assured that the interface description you see from a library is up-to-date, unlike documentation. Convenience is a mighty strong catalyst for action. > This seems to be using interface implementation to flag a class > as suitable for use in a particular way.

The difference is: simply stating a class' purpose is easy. You do it once and that's pretty much it. As you develop, though, the interface changes. Keeping up with specific method documentation is much more labor-intensive. If you have an interface description that you had to adhere to, you wouldn't have the option of falling behind on updating it. Your code simply wouldn't work until you did. > D'd certainly like extensions to respond_to? so I could check argument > type and count (think someone posted that earlier?) - but that could > be mixed in, so I wouldnt be imposing this on those who didnt want it.

No, it's more hassle. To update a document, you have to open a different file, and if you make a typo or just plain write it wrong, there is nothing to stop you from doing so. Interfaces can be described in the same source file as your class definition, so it's easy to find and update, plus, you can't update it wrong, or your code gives you errors. > It seemed like you were more interested in a way to know how an API > will use your object. Why not send in a probe? Because probes can sometimes cause damage, and the errors reported deep inside may not be easily understood. It's a hit-or-miss proposition in there; some people have no trouble diving in and reading someone else's code. I do it as a last resort because I find it's a terribly inefficient way to debug. > Thats a back of a beermat approach, but I reckon that coupled with > some good unit testing frees you up from relying on the kindness of > strangers, at least a little. I just don't think that probing and unit testing alone does quite what I'm proposing. My proposal provides a lot of assurance, a lot of understanding right up-front, and I think will just plain make a heck of a lot of people happy. > Even if it only tests method name and argument count, that gives you all > an interface would, without any changes to the API you are using. Well, since classes can implement interfaces, the test can also check that methods are being passed object that fulfill the interface contract. So, a sort of type checking can be performed. > The difference is API probing can be done with existing mechanisms, > *optionally* and more importantly, they dont require both sides > of the method to play by the rules.

It is, it most certainly is, except for two things. One, it's not a requirement, you can ignore it and never have to deal with it. Two, classes that claim to implement an interface can still work dynamically and can add their own methods. It's just an optional feature, not a whole new system being imposed globally. Sean O'Dell
