How to name factory like methods?

Question

I guess that most factory-like methods start with create. But why are they called \"create\"? Why not \"make\", \"produce\", \"build\", \"generate\" or something el

Answer 1

I like new. To me

var foo = newFoo();

reads better than

var foo = createFoo();

Translated to english we have foo is a new foo or foo is create foo. While I'm not a grammer expert I'm pretty sure the latter is grammatically incorrect.
