Constructors

[binarytemple]

Joking aside - I'd like to use this code for an open-source project I want to write. Have you any suggestions as to how I would go about implementing (chained) constructors / init with this library?

oop/lib/oop.ex

Lines 141 to 146 in 1bc0caf

	def inherit_method(method, arity, parent) do
	args = (0..arity) |> Enum.drop(1) |> Enum.map(fn i -> {:"arg#{i}", [], OOP} end)
	{:defdelegate, [context: OOP, import: Kernel],
	[{method, [], args}, [to: parent]]}
	end

Somehow override new ? Add a new keyword ?

As a first attempt perhaps I could override the implementation of Application and provide my own custom registry ?

defmodule OOP.Application do
  use Application

  def start(_type, _args) do
    OOP.Registry.start_link()
  end
end

Hi, sorry for delay. I don't plan to extend the library beyond what it already is. Of course you're welcome to use it but I'd highly recommend against it as it was neither thoroughly tested nor optimised and finally vanilla Elixir and Erlang is fundamentally easier to work with.

Thanks for your interest in it!

Hahaha yeah - pretty warped request - plan was to implement a terraform validator/simulator - it does everything with constructors - thought it might be easier than implementing from scratch
