Naming Conventions
Dylan uses the extra characters permitted in variable names to
support a number of standard naming conventions, as shown in Table 2-1>.
Table 2-1. Naming Conventions
<string> | a class |
insert! | mutative function (modifies arguments destructively)
|
empty? | predicate function (tests one or more arguments and
returns either true or false) |
write-line | a two word name |
$name | constant |
*name* | module-level variable |
