IT Ideas Resumed

A jolly good read, I've rarely laughed so much in a forum ;D

Dude, welcome to 2006. If there were anyone else trying to do what you were doing, it would show up on Google. There would be blog posts, impassioned forum rantings, and endless help requests showing up from searches. Probably there be someone trying to build a "methodology" around your idea, and then offering consulting and support on that methodology at reasonble rates. Someone else would be blaming your idea on Microsoft. A third person would be saying that your idea was great, but only for projects released under his particular favorite open source license, and worthless for all those other heretic open source licenses. Eclipse would already include the idea, buried somewhere in a control panel no one could find, and enabled only in certain arbitrarily chosen perspectives. About fifty people would be saying how much better your idea works in Ruby. Another fifty would write howtos explaining the applicability of your idea to AJAX developement (with really bad JavaScript examples). Eventually, Google itself would be shipping a beta version of a never-to-be-profitable Web2.0 application, based around your idea. (No offense, Keith.)

None of those exist. Googling for non-standard property method naming conventions turns up nothing. Your particular design fetish is so small it doesn't even have a support group. It's easier to find people willing to publicly admit having sex with kangaroos than to find people "morally opposed" to the JavaBeans naming conventions.

That's okay. Sometimes genius is lonely.

It reminds me of a flamewar on a 3D computing forum. it ignited when some genius stated that HAVOC (physics engine of Far Cry) was not proven to be glitchless...
Man, people got so personnal about a physics Kernel....
get a life.
