[edit] nice class

I can't find any uses of this term in the wild, even using Google. I've been a C++ programmer for over a decade and have never heard it. Smells like a neologism. Jorend 14:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I get 567 hits for "nice class" object-oriented --Ruby 14:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • It isn't clear that many or most of them are using the phrase in the sense described in the article, however. --Craig Stuntz 16:52, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per google test, although if lots of other C++ programmers come and say that there is no such thing as this concept, please contact me on my Talk page and I will change my vote. Batmanand 15:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC) OK change of vote in light of comments below; now delete. Batmanand 22:51, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Counting Google hits may be very misleading: the only reference to this definition I could find is [1]; all other sites in the first two Google pages use "nice" for "fine", "good". - Liberatore(T) 15:49, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Craig Stuntz 16:52, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I've been a C++ programmer for about as long as Jorend and never come across it before either. There is a brief discussion about it on the original author's talk page, and my reading is that it is indeed a neologism. Jll 17:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete neologism. Drilling down into the google hits, even those in relation to C++, don't support this usage. Most of them are compliments on code written as Paolo Liberatore mentioned. Beyond that, I'm not a programmer but I've been testing/analyzing software & code for almost as many years as Jorend has been writing it and I've never heard this term either.--Isotope23 17:22, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I've never run across this as a term in OO programming. -Satori ^(talk) 00:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Neologism for a class which is well-behaved. —Ruud 01:59, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete neologism --Allan McInnes (talk) 02:32, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Sounds like some professor's course-specific jargon. --bmills 04:16, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - unverifiable. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-02-20 13:14Z
• Delete: neologism, POV (I don't think C++ is very nice). --Mgreenbe 14:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
