@nfrankel I'm surprised not to see builders mentioned in your article. Interesting story: Stroustrup was very close to approving the introduction of named parameters in C++ and at the last minute, someone from the C++ committee came up with a builder like example (

new Window().width(20).height(30)

) and this convinced Stroustrup to completely scrap the idea.

@cedric yes, i forgot...

@cedric due to popular demand, i added the builder

and thanks for the anecdote about named parameters in c++

someone dared!
