Well that's nice: you're accusing me of missing the point after having
quoted something I wrote as if it represented by own views, even
though I footnoted it and said I was only doing it for the sake of
argument. Perhaps, outside this discussion, I am totally getting "the
point".
I can't tell, though, because I read your post twice and I have no
idea what you consider "the point" to be.
Best as I can tell you are claiming that data hiding isn't important,
but then you go on to imply Python is blemished because it doesn't
hide data. It really makes no sense: perhaps you can help us out by
giving us an example of something that illustrates what you're saying?
(FWIW, my actual view on the matter is I don't give a lick about data
hiding or marking internals.)
Do yourself a favor and google antoon's previous posts in this group. He
sure is a clever guy & I wouldn't call him a troll - but a bit trollish..
