Not to sure on the dart syntax so I'm gonna just kinda go with it, but if you have fun Greeter { print "Hello ${name}" } and have the class Greeter and you call fred = Greeter(); so would you get a Greeter instance or the result of the Greeter function?

I think he meant "fake" or possibly "stub," each a specific type of "mock" (if you buy into that set of definitions). And as to why you'd do it, it might make sense to implement the client before the method. Also, since we're in the realms of language design, Foo can itself be an instance of class Class :-)

Unfortunately, CLIC is much much slower than ctags because it uses a real parser.

As zeekar put it, if Compare needs access to private data, then you could implement your function as a member and outside of the class. You don't need a static method. Compare(a,b) { if (a != null) { return a.Compare(b); } // return whatever makes sense if a is null...

It looks like it, yes. So basically you don't have to manually lock data to access it from different threads - that is handled transparently for you by the STM model.
