What Is a “ReadOnly Queue” in .NET?

Posted by ceekays on Thursday October 23, 2014 @06:14AM
from the self-post dept.

By definition, a ReadOnly modifier specifies that a variable or property can be read but not written. However, I have noted that a ReadOnly System.Collections.Generic.Queue Object can be Enqueue-d and Dequeue-d. What does the ReadOnly modifier guard against?

Re:What pythonistas think of ruby on Thursday January 23, 2014 @10:28AM (#7108714)
I agree with you on several things:

[1] Actually I am a Rubyist and a Pythonista at the same time. I did not see the original post on the forum, so I just posted this one

[2] I am not sure if the favicon has anything to do with YouTube because I see the colours are slightly different. However, I may not argue for or against because it is of less significance to me

[3] "If there is still a high priesthood among programmers, it must be those few who know how to do this [i.e. develop a programming language]." - (Herbert Schildt, C - The Complete Reference). I think there is a big difference between the language and the creator. We may not like all languages (because of our personal preferences) but we need to respect the creators because just to create a programming language is not an easy job. So I do not think it is good to insult, exasperate, degrade or demean a creator of a language. Larry Wall is a good man just like Matz (Ruby), Dennis Ritchie (C), James Gosling (Java), Ken Thompson (B and Go), Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP), etc

There is already a similar app called http://theinternetwishlist.com/ by some female developer, Amrit Richmond.
