From: "Eregon (Benoit Daloze)" Date: 2012-11-18T21:11:02+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:49522] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7384] Rename #each_with_object to #each_with Issue #7384 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). I couldn't agree more! Enumerator#with_object should become Enumerator#with as well. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7384: Rename #each_with_object to #each_with https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7384#change-33054 Author: trans (Thomas Sawyer) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: core Target version: next minor I propose that #each_with_object be renamed to #each_with, for the following reasons: 1. The original name is too long. When general purpose methods have long names it tends to deter developers from using them even when they are a good fit to the use case. 2. The last word, "object", is completely redundant. All methods that take an argument could say the same thing. e.g. Array#push is not named #push_object though that is obviously what it means. 3. The change need not effect backward compatibility b/c #each_with_object can remain an alias of #each_with for as long as deemed necessary. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
