Subject: [ruby-core:38069] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #5009] Bang method (!) consistency in Ruby 2 API


Issue #5009 has been updated by Suraj Kurapati.


Interesting, the Rails' save/save! example makes sense.

And why worry about keeping backwards compatibility?

Ruby 2 can break it, in the interest of removing cruft.

Feature #5009: Bang method (!) consistency in Ruby 2 API

Hello,

In Ruby 2, please use bang methods (those that end with !) consistently in the API.  For example, the Ruby 1 API inconsistently names the following "destructive" methods plainly (without a bang):

* Array#push
* Array#pop
* Array#shift
* Array#unshift
* Array#concat
* Array#delete
* Array#clear

Please convert these into bang methods in the Ruby 2 API.

Thanks for your consideration.
=end
