Feature #12578: Instance Variables Assigned In parameters ( ala Crystal? )
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12578

----------------------------------------
When I first saw the instance assignments in Crystal, I was floored... I have looked at all 18 pages in this tracker and thought it "must" have been mentioned in here... but I don't see it... pardon me if I missed it... 

BUT

so in Crystal, this :

class MyStuff

  def initialize @thing_one , @thing_two
  end

end

would replace :

class MyStuff

  def initialize thing_one , thing_two
    @thing_one = thing_one
    @thing_two = thing_two
  end

end

One of the things I loved about ruby was attr_accessor / reader / writer... 

I know in Crystal, it is a macro, but still at the millions of lines of boilerplate that would go away... 

Has no one thought of stealing this from Crystal or is there a good reason this does not exist? ( and I will go sit down and color now )
