use_consistent_name

Segment your methods by using a standard name format

category_method_desc  such as

client_address 

or

client_formmethod

This is easier for you to read, and easier if you will be passing your code to someone else (like adding it to TagSwap)

Why Lasso?

Lasso is an excellent language for web programming. Here the community discusses why

Questions:

  • Why consider Lasso for the future?
  • What are the benefits of using Lasso?
  • What is the Lasso community doing?

UTF-8

All built-in functions support utf-8 - a real boon for those working outside the standard roman character set. Reportedly far beter support than Perl, Python and PHP.

Lasso as an innovative language

Lasso introduced built-in features like easy PDF production, individual site handling and support for UTF-8 long before many of the competitors.

Lasso is a maintained language

Out of the box it supports features in a consistent manner where the competition relies on third-party solutions that do not adhere to a general convention. Meaning, any tag working with strings start either with [string_] or is a member of the [string] type. This also works for math, XML, encode/decode, encrypt/decrypt, file, PDF etc.

Cost of support

You have the option of (free) support from the community or you can become an LPA member and get unlimited email support (very often very, very quick) at a reasonable price.
