You can use the match method with the :via option to match multiple verbs at once:

Dart Sass has replaced Ruby Sass as the canonical implementation of the Sass language.

However, if perform was creating threads and you ended up with closures inside perform, then you could end up with several threads referencing the same local variables captured through the closures. So you do have to be careful about scope issues when you create threads but you don't have to worry about it when dealing with simple methods that only work with local variables

The local variables, such as your hash, are local to the particular invocation of the surrounding method. If two threads end up calling perform at the same time, then each call will get its own execution context and those won't overlap unless there are shared resources involved: instance variables (@hash), class variables (@@hash), globals ($hash), ... can cause concurrency problems. There's nothing to worry about thread-wise with something simple like your perform.

Ruby is the programming language used in Translation Proxy. For Sarah, Object Oriented Design “done the Ruby way” is so enjoyable and is the part of her work that she likes most.

Ruby has some really nice libraries for working with linked data. These libraries allow you to work with the data in both a graph and resource-oriented fashion, allowing a developer to use the techniques that best suit his or her use cases and skills.

Time.current returns said timestamp, and Time.now its equivalent in the system time zone.

Since Ruby 1.9.2, Time implementation uses a signed 63 bit integer, Bignum or Rational. The integer is a number of nanoseconds since the Epoch which can represent 1823-11-12 to 2116-02-20. When Bignum or Rational is used (before 1823, after 2116, under nanosecond), Time works slower as when integer is used.

There is a usability problem here, it's basically impossible to read the output of Time#inspect in such a case, even though the input was readable.

So, which is better? t.inspect # => "2007-11-01 15:25:00 8483885939586761/68719476736000000 UTC" t.inspect # => "2007-11-01 15:25:00.123456789000000004307366907596588134765625 UTC"

Introducing Module#const_source_locationUsing Method#source_location made finding the location of any method fairly easy. Unfortunately, there wasn’t an equivalent for constants. This meant that unless the constant you needed to find was defined in your codebase, finding its source location was not easy.

To stop emitting the warnings, just add RUBYOPT=-W:no-deprecated.

Enumerable#tally is added. It counts the occurrence of each element. ["a", "b", "c", "b"].tally #=> {"a"=>1, "b"=>2, "c"=>1}

Enumerator::Lazy#eager is added. It generates a non-lazy enumerator from a lazy enumerator.

A beginless range is experimentally introduced. It might not be as useful as an endless range, but would be good for DSL purposes.

It does change it, but it makes it much simpler in my opinion. It is basically "the receiver is statically the explicit literal special variable self or implicit." This gets rid of the current exception for private writer methods (self.foo = bar).

I guess much like Range literals in general, it's often needed to have parens around them.

Why don't you allow a range without end, like (1..)? There are two advantages. First, we can write ary[1..] instead of ary[1..-1]. The -1 is one of the most I dislike in Ruby. It is very magical, ugly, redundant, and disappointing. I envy Python's ary[1:]. I know that ary.drop(1) is slightly fast, but too long for such a common operation, IMO. Second, we can write (1..).each {|n| ... }.

require 'set' class Array def uniq_elements(&prc) prc ||= ->(e) { e } uniques, dups = {}, Set.new each do |e| k = prc[e] ((uniques.key?(k)) ? (dups << k; uniques.delete(k)) : uniques[k] = e) unless dups.include?(k) end uniques.values end end

An even more straightforward way is to use group_by

Set implements a collection of unordered values with no duplicates.

To me the difference between [1,1,2,2,3,3] and [1,2,3] is not []

It’s even worse that there’s no alternative method that does the unsurprising thing IMO.

Are you angry now? Because I’m angry.

You should see me doing a write up for a Ruby feature suggestion only to discover that Array#- is hijacked for non-mathematical reasons

Oh. Oh no. That's... not a thing that should be. People wonder why we can't get be more popular with science / math academics.

I don't think this is a good overload of 'subtraction'1Olivier Lacan@olivierlacan·Jan 14, 2019Yup. I don’t either.

but not as two methods called Array#- and Array#difference. As something like Array#set_difference maybe, or even Array#subtract_all, maybe.

One may expect Array#- to behave like mathematical subtraction or difference when it doesn't. One could be forgiven to expect the following behavior: [1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4] - [1,2,3,4] => [1,2,3,4]

I'll freely admit I was surprised by this behavior myself since I needed to obtain an Array with only one instance of each item in the argument array removed.

If you answer is yes, then we are doing this wrong because subset? or part_of method should be in a parent class (maybe Enumerable class ) in order for it to work for subset, array, hash and any data structure that inherit from it Enumerable.

Arrays are not sets. Trying to treat them as if they are is an error, and will create subtle problems. What should be the result of the following operations? [1, 1] | [1] [1] | [1, 1] Of course, there are more interesting examples. These two are to get you started. I don't care what the results currently are. I don't care what you think they should be. I can present extremely strong arguments for various answers. For this reason, I believe that #| is an ill-defined concept. Generalizing an ill-defined concept is a world of pain. If you insist on treating objects of one class as if they were members of a different class, there should be bumps in the road to at least warn you that maybe this is a bad idea. I'm not going to argue that we should remove or deprecate #|. I don't think of myself as a fanatic. But encouraging this sort of abuse of the type system just creates problems.

I do not understand why concat modify the array, as most of the method of the Array class has a ! method for that. Should I also introduced a concat! method?

call run[] ( or run.call/run.()

However, distributing such Ruby apps to inexperienced end users or non-Ruby-programmer end users is problematic. If users have to install Ruby first, or if they have to use RubyGems, they can easily run into problems. Even if they already have Ruby installed, they can still run into problems, e.g. by having the wrong Ruby version installed. The point is, it's a very real problem that could harm your reputation.

old_log_entries = old_log.split /(?=commit [0-9a-f]{40})/ # Lookahead assertions FTW

old_log.split /(?=commit [0-9a-f]{40})/ # Lookahead assertions FTW

Programming languages These will probably expose my ignorance pretty nicely.

The method name is generated by replacing spaces with underscores. The result does not need to be a valid Ruby identifier though, the name may contain punctuation characters etc. That's because in Ruby technically any string may be a method name. This may require use of define_method and send calls to function properly, but formally there's little restriction on the name.

But where is the helper method defined? What’s its visibility? Can I put it in a module? Can I use inheritance? Who can call it? Can I call super from the extracted method? If so, where does super go?

minitest doesn't reinvent anything that ruby already provides, like: classes, modules, inheritance, methods. This means you only have to learn ruby to use minitest and all of your regular OO practices like extract-method refactorings still apply.

Ruby 2.1 added local_variable_set, but that cannot create new local variables either

binding.local_variable_get and binding.local_variable_set

This situation usually arises from external constraints not design choices such as my example with Sequel. My point is that assigning a value to a constant is allowed by Ruby in certain scopes and not others. It used to be up to the developer to choose wisely when to perform the assignment. Ruby changed on this. Not for everyone's good.

it pollutes the MultiDelegator class with every new delegate. If you use MultiDelegator several times, it will keep adding methods to the class, which is undesirable

I came up with a Delegator-like implementation of this that I called DelegatorToAll

The handler can be a method or a Proc object passed to the :with option. You can also use a block directly instead of an explicit Proc object.

Ruby's current handling of Dates and Times is all over the map. We have Date, Time, DateTime, ParseDate, and more, not to mention all the other common extensions running around out there. Ruby needs an improved class that incorporates them all.

Methods must be tested both via a Lemon unit test and as a QED demo. The Lemon unit tests are for testing a method in detail whereas the QED demos are for demonstrating usage.

prepend_message

To be just a bit polemic, your first instinct was not to do that. And you probably wouldn't think of that in your unit tests either (the holy grail of dynamic langs). So someday it would blow up at runtime, and THEN you'd add that safeguard.

As many would guess: ... catch StandardError => e raise $! ... raises the same error referenced by $!, the same as simply calling: ... catch StandardError => e raise ... but probably not for the reasons one might think. In this case, the call to raise is NOT just raising the object in $!...it raises the result of $!.exception(nil), which in this case happens to be $!.

The pattern below has become exceptionally useful for me (pun intended). It's clean, can be easily modularized, and the errors are expressive. Within my class I define new errors that inherit from StandardError, and I raise them with messages (for example, the object associated with the error).
