Duck typing + Wikipedia.

August 22nd, 2007 § 2 comments

For some rea­son, I found myself read­ing the Duck Typ­ing entry in wikipedia (which is sort of like watch­ing a slow mov­ing train­wreck). Of more inter­est was the Talk page.

If you get a chance, I rec­om­mend you read both — and after your done laugh­ing, take a look at my pre­vi­ous arti­cles (rants?) on the sub­ject — typeducking-on-duck-vs-static-typing and schrodingers-type-is-a-namespace-a-box.

I think I won in the ref­er­ence mate­r­ial sec­tion. Although I don’t think I am going to touch the wikipedia entry with a 10-foot-pole.

    I have edited the wiki page in the past and I too am not happy with its cur­rent state but I don’t want to chop out oth­ers work. (As yet ;-)
    I’ve just blogged on the issue too: http://paddy3118.blogspot.com/2007/08/duck-typing-explained.html

    I finally thought of a way to rewrite the Wikipedia page and di just that. The pre­vi­ous flow was sink­ing deeper into quick­sand. I think I’ve pulled it out so we can choose another way to our goal of Wikipedia arti­cle nirvāṇa.
