David and I have worked on the new LSP plugin for our web-server and we
have been discussing the variable naming convention for some time. I
would like to have a dialog with this group as to what is the best
naming convention.
We recently added the server to the list of Lua projects:
http://www.lua.org/uses.html#248
Currently, LSP provides support for the Barracuda API using the same
names as on the C side, but with a different naming convention.
C side:
---------------------
We differentiate between classes and instances on the C side since C is
a typed language. A class always starts with an uppercase, such as
HttpRequest. An instance variable always starts with a lowercase, such
as request.
A method name always starts with lowercase, such as request:sleep
Multiple-word identifiers start with a lowercase and the word boundaries
are uppercase.
Example: twoWords
Lua side:
--------------------
Currently, everything on the Lua side is lowercase, including
multiple-word boundaries.
Example: request:encoderedirecturl
We are debating on changing the convention to the same as the "instance"
convention on the C side. As an example, the above method name would be:
request:encodeRedirectUrl
