From: cben@... Date: 2018-05-23T09:47:09+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:87234] [CommonRuby Feature#13581] Syntax sugar for method reference Issue #13581 has been updated by cben (Beni Cherniavsky-Paskin). Matz, could you give your thoughts on obj::method (with lowercase on right side) syntax? AFAICT it's synonym to obj.method? Does anybody use :: for method calls in practice? I understand breaking compatibility can't be justified here, but I'm just curious ��� do you see this syntax as a feature to be preserved, or something to be avoided that might be (slowly) deprecated one day? ---------------------------------------- Feature #13581: Syntax sugar for method reference https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13581#change-72223 * 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:
