Subject: [ruby-core:38987] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #5196] true should be True.


Issue #5196 has been updated by Steve Klabnik.


In Ruby, you can update constants, though:

    ruby-1.9.2-p180 :001 > A = 5
     => 5 
    ruby-1.9.2-p180 :002 > A = 6
    (irb):2: warning: already initialized constant A
     => 6 

So I don't see how this would change anything.

Hello.I'm Tomoki Imai.

I found Ruby has inconsistency.

true is constant value.
In irb,

true = nil
(irb):5: Can't assign to true
true = nil
      ^
	from (irb):5
	from :0

We can't change value true.

In Ruby,we use capitalized name for constant value.
For example,
A = 3 .

This is why true should be True.
