![]() Subsequently, an imperious traveler named Pozzo, along with his silent slave Lucky, arrives and pauses to converse with Vladimir and Estragon. They are not certain if they have ever met Godot, nor if he will even arrive. The duo discuss a variety of issues at length, none of any apparent significance, and it is finally revealed that they are awaiting a man named Godot. Estragon notifies Vladimir of his most recent troubles: he spent the previous night lying in a ditch and received a beating from a number of anonymous assailants. The play opens with two bedraggled acquaintances, Vladimir and Estragon, meeting by a leafless tree. In a poll conducted by the British Royal National Theatre in 1998/99, it was voted the "most significant English-language play of the 20th century". The English-language version premiered in London in 1955. ![]() The premiere, directed by Roger Blin, was on 5 January 1953 at the Théâtre de Babylone, Paris. ![]() The original French text was composed between 9 October 1948 and 29 January 1949. Waiting for Godot is Beckett's translation of his own original French-language play, En attendant Godot, and is subtitled (in English only) " a tragicomedy in two acts". Waiting for Godot ( / ˈ ɡ ɒ d oʊ/ GOD-oh) is a play by Samuel Beckett in which two characters, Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo), engage in a variety of discussions and encounters while awaiting the titular Godot, who never arrives. maybe it helps someone.En attendant Godot, staging by Otomar Krejca, Avignon Festival, 1978 Don't worry, I know it's just a random rant, but hey. In other words, I try to avoid referring to Class.X member "X" in some places and "this.X" in others.įinally, if you are aiming at brevity - and I've had to abandon all aspirations of conciseness and opt for verbosity multiple times, sometimes it's the only realistic way to actually finish your complex code - then maybe rename the parameters to something like "newLength", "assignedLength" or just "lengthParameter", which then makes it crystal clear what is which and which is what. Visually, it makes everything stand out less and when my eyes have no landmarks, they sometimes "over-optimize" the code I'm trying to read, if that makes sense.Īlso, I think it's good to be able to rely upon "when I type X within this class, it refers to X of this class". And you might have to adapt anyway, if you work in a team that uses such convention.īut I feel like it's actually damaging brevity by adding a potentially long wall of repeating "self."/"this." and, at least for me, long walls of repeated text often make it easier for me to make mistakes, or overlook them when I check my code.
