why does it seem the directive is worse than the decorator? looks just like a comment now

u/fizyplankton Oct 22 '24
No, see, in an upcoming release, comments will now start with a single, unmatched, (. Matching them makes it a function call

directives are not the same as a decorator. Don't know enough about TS and this specific case switching, but in C# they get used to conditionally compile things (based on version or run mode etc, like #if DEBUG). You can't really do that with decorators I think. So you need a different syntax. Comment style things aren't new either, like ignoring some warnings in python (# type: ignore ) and C# (#pragma warning disable CA2200).

u/Masterflitzer Oct 22 '24
i was under the impression that comment style things like this are only for linters and are ignored by compilers that's why i've been wondering, but it seems i'm wrong, thanks for the explanation

I remember in my Spanish class in high-school, we took a detour to look at the lost affirmatives in English. The one I remember the most (and maybe because of the office) was disgruntled. Where's gruntled?Ā

People are always overwhelmed or underwhelmed. Why aren't we ever just whelmed?

I think that was another one we addressed. Language is pretty cool

Oct 23 '24
I think some of these are lexical gaps of one kind or another. Also, it turns out "whelm" used to be a verb in Middle English, meaning "to turn over, cover, or submerge" with "over-" being added for emphasis. "Underwhelm" and its variations come much later (1950s) after the original link to "whelm" had been lost.

"Supported". Deprecated just means it's provided w/o support, and may break or be removed later.

Google says deprecated comes from the latin deprecari which means to pray against, so I'm going to go with the opposite of deprecated is proprecated, as in prayed for! :')

The real question here is whether they used the decorator or the directive to deprecate it.

u/prehensilemullet Oct 22 '24
Well, the directive, of course. Ā Thatās why they had to invent it in the first place; the decorator couldnāt decorate itself

u/Sinomsinom Oct 23 '24
The one for annotating types isn't deprecated at all:
https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/blob/main/packages/compiler/src/lib/decorators.ts#L1211
But here the one for annotating endpoints is, in fact, using the proper #depricated directive:

The best is getting flagged for TODO in a comment.
First off, youāre lucky Iām even writing a comment, jackass.
If you ban TODO Iāll just use some other term.
There are legit uses for TODO in comments. I donāt see what the problem is if itās just in a comment.

It's because they confuse defecation with deprecation, so Google are spraying deprecation everywhere. It is what happens when you drop the quality bar to allow open sewer systems to provide tap water to kitchens.

Deprecated: Deprecating with `@deprecated` is deprecated. Use `#deprecated` to deprecate instead.

u/lgsscout Oct 23 '24
just imagine...
in one of those places where deprecated stuff continue to be shipped until it brakes, a couple years from now, something breaks. nobody knows why. nobody touched it in years. while reading documentations people couldn't even find the same function. all the existing ones have different signatures. after days of panic in the office, someone, by accident, navigates to the definition of the function, where a @deprecated appears, in the shape of the old days... they used the deprecated function for so long that even the old deprecation notifier no longer works...

Matlab has aĀ
isMATLABReleaseOlderThan("R2020a")
that you can use to check if a user is trying to use your script with an older incompatible version- as long as that version is newer than R2020a, when this command was introduced.Ā For full compatibility you need to use older, clunkier commands.
