Naming of boolean variables about swift-style-guide HOT 4 CLOSED

The Objective-C the property would be called visible even if the getter is called differently. But the existence of getter/setter methods is an implementation detail so it shouldn't really matter what they are called.

This is probably a relic from the days before dot notation. When Apple enabled dot notation, they already solved this problem by naming the property visible and not isVisible.

While it is true that the property can be accessed in two ways when using a custom getter, Adopting Modern Objective-C (in the section "Properties") still mentions the is-Prefix for Booleans.

But using the "is" in Swift looks a little weird, I'm all in favor of dropping the prefix.

Using different names to access the same backing storage is just incoherent and for our beginner users probably plainly confusing. Using the same property name for reading/writing is just simpler and more clear to understand.

Agreed. It's not what I was proposing and is also not possible in Swift. I just wanted to get some input on the matter, and thought that something like this might belong in a style guide. Which is what I got (the input), so thanks! I'll close this issue.
