As @mame already said, I gave a talk at Euruko about this issue: https://youtu.be/jUc8InwoA-E?t=2m54s I did an standing up voting. As in the video you can not see the audience, here is the picture I took during the talk with the result of the voting: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16052290/44840875-5cd3bf00-ac42-11e8-84e9-815bc6473719.jpg The quality of the picture is not really good, but I have pixelized the faces of the recognizable people wearing a red cord (as they don't want to appear on pictures). I hope is fine. There are more picture from the conference organization in better quality, which I will add as soon as they send them to me. ---------------------------------------- Feature #14097: Add union and difference to Array https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14097#change-73799 * Author: ana06 (Ana Maria Martinez Gomez) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Target version: ---------------------------------------- Currently there is a concat method in ruby which does the same as +, but modifying the object. We could introduce a union and difference methods, which would be the equivalent for the `|` and `-` operators. This operators are normally less used due to lack of readability and expressivity. You end seeing thinks like: ``` array.concat(array2).uniq! ``` just because it is more readable. When it could be written like: ``` array |= array2 ``` But, as this is not clear for some people, the new method will solve this problem: ``` array.union(array2) ``` And now this is clean and readable, as everybody expect from Ruby, the language focused on simplicity and productivity. ;) Can I send a PR? :) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
