    Every famous person is famous for something. Let me, Lloyd Dupont, coin here, in this public place, a new previously un-named albeit widely used pattern, the "Rube Goldberg" pattern, named after the machine[^]. (OK, I didn't create the name, but I AM the one who promoted to pattern status!! ;P) The code I'm refactoring used the Rube Goldberg pattern quite a lot! ^^

    A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.

      I agree. I've been thinking of starting a project that is only for trying out new things and when one method finishes running it starts the next and so on until it finally in some grand Rube Goldberg style announces "Hello World!"

        Unfortunately, you cannot patent the method or copyright the name, there's tonnes of 'prior art' out in the universe.

                                    Sounds a lot like callback-based programming to me ... (I actually like callbacks, and tend to overuse them.)

                                          Every famous person is famous for something. Let me, Lloyd Dupont, coin here, in this public place, a new previously un-named albeit widely used pattern, the "Rube Goldberg" pattern, named after the machine[^]. (OK, I didn't create the name, but I AM the one who promoted to pattern status!! ;P) The code I'm refactoring used the Rube Goldberg pattern quite a lot! ^^

                                          A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.
