coding

With the move of Enterprise Java (Java EE) to Jakarta EE within the Eclipse Foundation (rather than the Apache Foundation), it is unclear whether the NetBeans community (now an Apache Foundation project) will flourish.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A 'type$' indicator for an '$opt$' or '$arg$' is for documentation only. It may use a "pattern helper", a human-friendly String, or a SysML-similar short-hand type representation. It need not correspond to a valid Pattern.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A '$Q$' in a function variant name indicates that it is a variant where every argument is strictly either a Quantity or dimensionless Real. Compare with '$SI$' functions.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: An '$E$' or '$EQ$' in a function name indicates that it is symbolic (takes Blank expression arguments), but the absence of '$E$' or '$EQ$' does not necessarily imply that it does not take Blank arguments.

Webel: Mathematica: The Method syntax for the user contributed MTools does not seem to support Method-specific ::usage. The Webel libraries offer method documentation support (including arguments and options) via the HelpO` class/method registry.

Webel: Mathematica: The Method syntax for the user contributed MTools does not seem to support Wolfram Language Options[]. The Webel MTools extensions offer options support via a Webel Options Association in combination with the HelpO` method registry.

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: An '@~' prefix in a @pseudo function (OpaqueBehavior or Activity) represents a cast from any expression to a Type. Example: '@~OpenerView' casts from any expression to an OpenerView. '@Type~' casts from a specific Type.

Webel: Mathematica: The Webel MAll universal base class does not itself use Webel method options (but does offer some support for method options for extending classes)

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: An '$SI$' in a function variant name indicates that all arguments are SI Real convention (no Quantity arguments with units). An '$SI$' function can also be used to generate '$C$' compiled function variants.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A '$C$' in a function name indicates that it is a compiled variant. Typically it is compiled from an '$E$' symbolic function or an '$SI$' Real convention function.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: An '$E$' in a function name indicates that it is symbolic (takes Blank expression arguments). An '$E$' function can also be used with Quantity inputs and can be used to generate '$C$' compiled function variants.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A '$EQ$' in a function name indicates that it is a symbolic equation (with LHS == RHS). An '$EQ$ function can be used in combination with 'sym$' markup to create human-friendly formatted equations.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: Entity "field definers" are prefixed with '$e$[pac]' (where '[pac]' is a nickname for a package or logical grouping) and carry String field names. EntityStore functions are prefixed with 'e$[pac]'.

Webel: Mathematica: Packages that import the Webel HelpF` package (but not MTools and the Webel HelpM` package) should use the 'usageF' function for ::usage String generation (rather than the 'docF' and 'docV' functions) and an AOR Map.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A '$sig$f$' prefix indicates a String signature helper for a function (or for a "method" of an MTools class or a Webel Abstract Data Type (ADT) pseudo class).

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A '$doc$' prefix indicates a formatted documentation String helper. A '$doc$arg$' is for an argument, a '$doc$opt$' is for an option. A '$doc$ String may be used to create ::usage documentation via docF.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A ‘$pac$’ String helper variable is used to capture the fully qualified String name of every package. Useful for quick '$pac' argument provision for search functions and for DEVEL package load echoes.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A 'z$' prefix may be used to indicate a Private` function or expression within a package or a "private" method of an MTools class or Webel Abstract Data Type (ADT) stateless pseudo class.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: The Stereotype keyword «functional» indicates a "pseudo functional" representation of functional in SysML. There are limits to representation of functional programming in SysML, but it can be informative and is worth doing.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A '$t$' prefix indicates a String help holder with a "pseudo type" indicator (for human friendly documentation only). Used by the Doc`, HelpF`, and HelpO` packages.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A function's description (but not its signature, arguments, or options) may be captured as an '$info$f$' Stringhelp holder for use by the Doc` package for ::usage generation and the HelpF`& HelpO` help registry packages.

Webel: Mathematica: A help Rule 'rule$opt$' for an '$opt$' (option) accepts keys: '$k$help' (required), '$k$def' (required), and optional '$k$warn', '$k$tip', '$k$lab' (a label), '$k$type' (indicator only), '$k$mult' (SysML multiplicity), and '$k$pat'.

Webel: Mathematica: A help Rule 'rule$arg' for an '$arg$' (argument) accepts keys: '$k$help' (required), '$k$def' (required if $k$req = True not given), '$k$req' (True if $k$def not given), '$k$warn', '$k$tip', '$k$lab', '$k$type', '$k$mult' and '$k$pat'

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: An '$opt$' (option) or '$arg$ (argument) help holder may be have an associated (typically short) '$lab$opt$' or '$lab$arg$' label help holder for use in GUIs and views.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: Where keys of Associations are Strings they are encapsulated as variables prefixed with '$k$' (promotes DRY and has many advantages, such as IDE prompting). Direct use of "Strings" as keys is WET and strongly discouraged!

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: "pattern helpers" (which are not themselves Patterns) use the prefix '$pat$. Encapsulated Patterns use a 'pat$' prefix, and may use a '$pat$' pattern helper (such as an Alternatives).

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: Argument help holders use a String variable with the prefix '$arg$', a related '$info$arg$' String, a 'def$arg$' default value expression and/or 'req$arg$', and optional '$warn$arg$', '$tip$arg$, '$lab$arg$', 'type$arg$'..

Webel: Psy/MPsy: Psychrometrics for Mathematica: Convention: Option variable names are prefixed with '$opt$psy'

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: Option help holders use a String variable with the prefix '$opt$', a related '$info$opt$' String, a 'def$opt$' default value expression, and optional '$warn$opt$', '$tip$opt$', '$lab$opt$', and 'type$opt$' indicator ...
