Hey Beni! Thank you! This is a great idea! For my taste it looks significantly better! Also, I took the liberty of implementing a prototype gem and I've added my two cents: - method visibility check - arguments currying You can check it out on [Github](https://github.com/sevos/methods) ---------------------------------------- Feature #13581: Syntax sugar for method reference https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13581#change-70321 * Author: americodls (Americo Duarte) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- Some another programming languages (even Java, in version 8) has a cool way to refer a method as a reference. I wrote some examples here: https://gist.github.com/americodls/20981b2864d166eee8d231904303f24b I miss this thing in ruby. I would thinking if is possible some like this: ~~~ roots = [1, 4, 9].map &Math.method(:sqrt) ~~~ Could be like this: ~~~ roots = [1, 4, 9].map Math->method ~~~ What do you guys thinking about it? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
