[swift-evolution] Proposal for Replacing Keyword "subscript" with "subs"‏

[Feijian Sun]

Thank you for responding so late!
I agree with you that "subs" is not very obvious for subscript. While learning swift, I have a feeling that it contains so many long words as the keywords, such as
fallthrough, dynamicType, associativity, convenience, nonmutating, precedence, etc..
I understand there is a need for clarity. But I think it's also important to keep a concise and simple naming style where it's possible.
Thanks again.

It’s non-obvious to me that “subs” is short for subscript, whereas “init” and “func” have only one obvious expansion.

The idea is to keep the concise naming style on the language keywords, like "init" and "func".So, Instead of:subscript(index: Int) -> Int {        ... ...}we could simply do:subs(index: Int) -> Int{        ... ...}Does this mean a big change on the parser side? what do you think?Thank you! _______________________________________________swift-evolution mailing listswift-evolution at swift.orghttps://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
