the_silver_searcher and ripgrep are similar (and inspired by Ack). I switched from ack to the_silver_searcher years ago as it's quite a bit faster (or was at the time anyway, not sure how fast Ack is now), and then to ripgrep because it has the -g option (only search files that match a pattern) that's handy sometimes.
Reading over the source on the example apps, the first thing that jumps out at me is _underscore _prefixed _variables and it just looks odd in ruby, especially with :_symbols
Yeah, it looks like a Python refugee's code or something. I also don't like the .cur name that you have to use everywhere. It's not descriptive enough by itself. I wonder why .value wasn't used as the obvious choice.
obsurveyor, I'm the lead developer. I've been doing ruby forever. The .cur is going to go away, along with .or and .and I'm in the middle of a big refactor of the reactive stuff to simplify all of that.
So the models in volt basically let you read and assign attributes with an _ We could use the model[:key] instead, but the nice thing with using _ is that you can then define your own getters and setters easily in the model class. The _ is sort of a quick prototyping tool, allowing you to start using attributes without defining them in the model. We're going to add it where you can say something like:
model_attr :field_name, String
then do:
model.field_name = 'something'
(without the _)
The _ keeps people from calling a method that isn't defined, since ._something will return nil if its not defined yet. But if you called .something, it will still raise an exception.
That sounds ripe for misuse and kind of schizophrenic with the different behavior based on the name of the attribute. You should pick one behavior(throw an exception) and apply it everywhere. If you want quick prototyping features, then make that something you include with a gem or something, don't let it infect the framework.
Unless I'm mistaking inertial scrolling has nothing to do with it bouncing back specifically, it's inertial meaning having inertia, the tendency for something in motion in this case tr window to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Bouncing when you reach the end would be a simulation of elasticity not enertial
