My understanding of symbols was primarily that they were an ID within the runtime that happened to have a convenient string form, rather than a string that was used as an ID.

String, the superclass, will be mutable, and has mutating methods on it like << and reverse!. Now Symbol will be a subclass of String, but it will not fulfill several of String's promises. Symbol will be kind_of? String, but you can't << or reverse! it. Moreover, this seems to be anti-OO...the contract of the superclass is not being maintained by the subclass. By asserting that Symbol is immutable, you are automatically saying it is not String, since all Strings are mutable. The remaining reasons seem logical enough, but this issue really bothers me. -- Charles Oliver Nutter, JRuby Core Developer headius@headius.com -- charles.o.nutter@sun.com Blogging at headius.blogspot.com
