From: shevegen@... Date: 2020-06-08T21:28:26+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:98681] [Ruby master Feature#16939] Alias _1 as _ for block numbered params Issue #16939 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). I like to use _. I can see one benefit of your suggestion being that it is slightly shorter. I am mostly neutral on the suggestion but perhaps leaning towards a bit in favour (I have not thought it through fully yet though). [I guess it comes down to which identifier to use in an implicit manner, be it _ or anything else.] ---------------------------------------- Feature #16939: Alias _1 as _ for block numbered params https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16939#change-86027 * Author: x3qt (Yury Polyakov) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- I propose to alias `_1` as `_` for block numbered params, so the following statements should be equal ��� ``` ruby [1,2,3].map { _1 ** 2 } [1,2,3].map { _ ** 2 } ``` There is an [anonymous function argument literal](https://clojure.org/reference/reader#_dispatch) in Clojure and it feels natural all the way, hope we can have the one too. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
