:::I guess I am against what looks like one persons attempt to popularize their own nebulous idea through RC. Is this a different kind of spam? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:34, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
:::: I don't know. It could simply be a case of [https://thelure.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/tais-model/ Tai's Model], or it ''could be a design pattern without an agreed-upon name.'' I could be wrong, but I think it's likely to be the latter. The name 'scripted main' is in no way clarifying to me as to what the pattern is supposed to do. However, the [https://github.com/mcandre/scriptedmain/blob/45e1ea1521fd541681c6db1468ab0964ed8f9595/README README file] from mcandre's GitHub hosting of his initial examples describes a simple behavior, ''"scriptedmain - Programs that only run main() if they're not loaded as libraries by other programs."'' I really think the better description of this is "write a program which does one thing when executed directly and another thing when loaded as part of a larger program." --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:21, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
