Up to Main Index Up to Journal for March, 2013 JOURNAL FOR WEDNESDAY 6TH MARCH, 2013 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: A pile of PHP DATE: Wed Mar 6 22:39:41 GMT 2013 Usually Wednesdays are the one day where I can guarantee having time to code away on WolfMUD in the evening and late into the night. This Wednesday no such luck. Instead I'm still working - up to my neck in PHP sorting out a horrible mess. It's a shame when I have to work with PHP when there are much nicer tools like Go available :( Still I've been thinking about the WolfMUD code and wondering about the recent issues I've had with it. I think I know what the problem is, but not sure if I can explain it. Basically the code is too tight. It's not Go enough. All of the data structures, packages and methods are bound and knotted together. This comes from coding in other languages so much where access to everything needs to be guarded and controlled. I'm slowly learning that Go isn't and shouldn't be like that. Fortune for the day: You see a big refactoring in your near future Maybe I'm just raving like a sleep depraved loony... -- Diddymus Up to Main Index Up to Journal for March, 2013
