My first response was going to be "Well, you can always add another
layer of indirection to try to solve your problem", but then I went
and looked up builders on Wikipedia. Now I'm confused. What can you do
with a builder that you can't do with a constructor? Is this to get
around style guides that reject this kind of model:
x = Foo(
opt1=True,
opt2=True,
color=Yellow,
)
so you instead do this?
x = Foo.Builder()
x.opt1 = True
x.opt2 = True
x.color = Yellow
x = x.get()
How is that an improvement?
In Python, of course, keyword arguments do this job brilliantly, but
I'm aware that not all languages support them. Okay. But if you can
pass a mapping object to the constructor, you can do the same job that
way, and even if you can't do that, you could pass an array of
item,value,item,value,item,value or something. Surely there must be
some way that would work.
