Tell HN: Amusing Substitutions for Class Keyword

3 points·alexfromapex··1 comment

In the Kubernetes Python client code it's called "klass":

and in Apache ecosystem it's called clazz:

Just thought it was amusing and wanted to share

The 'clazz' thing is not an Apache thing, it's a java thing. It's quite a popular variable name actually. Kinda like a Shibolleth for the language.

E.g. see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2529974/why-do-java-prog...
