Description updated ---------------------------------------- Feature #5825: Sweet instance var assignment in the object initializer https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5825#change-40086 Author: goshakkk (Gosha Arinich) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) Category: Target version: next minor =begin I'm very excited about this feature in CoffeeScript, and think it might be a nice-to-have thing in Ruby 2.0. That's how I think it would look like: class Me def initialize(@name, @age, @location); end end So we can declare ((|@variable|))s in the initializer method parameters definition to avoid assigning instance variables from method arguments by hand, like: class Me def initialize(name, age, location) @name = name @age = age @location = location end end Want to hear what do you guys think, does that feature worth being included in 2.0? =end -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
