[jira] [Commented] (TINKERPOP-2378) Make C# DSL to be more closer to standard (lower case extensions)

["Florian Hockmann (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Florian Hockmann commented on TINKERPOP-2378:
---------------------------------------------

I agree with Stephen that having a PascalCase and a camelCase version of each step in C# would be confusing and would also pollute the code a lot. I'm also wondering whether that would really solve the problem you describe, [~dzmitry.lahoda], as you would still have to add generic type arguments in C# as they cannot be interfered from usage oftentimes even though it's possible in Java / Groovy.

Overall, the approach we've taken with providing [Translators|https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/current/upgrade/#_translators] that can for example translate from Gremlin-Java into Gremlin.NET seems to be the better solution for this kind of workflow in my opinion. We already have a translator in Java to do this and TINKERPOP-2367 addresses implementing this also in .NET.

So my take here would be to close this as _Won't do_ but I'm of course also open for other suggestions/arguments if others think that this might be a good addition to Gremlin.NET / GLVs in general (although Gremlin.NET is currently mostly affected by this).

> Usually, I prototype queries via gremlin console or azure cosmos console. I use first small letter in traversal steps. For example, 'outE`. Porting to strongly typed DSL requires to update all lower case steps into upper. Like, 'OutE`. It is very tedious process. Could we have `outE` and `OutE` projections for C#? It would make my life much more pleasant and C# closer to Gremlin standard. All such cases of differences do apply. C# has extensions and static using and case sensitive and dynamic. So most stuff in place to make C# to Groovy almost one to one.
