Subject: Re: Syntax

Hi,

> 1. if

I like ruby-syntax.
I like this one:

print a if a == 10

it's very bad, i know ;)

> 2. Rails' link_to

hmm, good question...
i use this one:
> link_to 'Show', :action => :show, :id => @post

> 3. Classes

full ACK to Ruby-Syntax...

> 4. Loop

this looks cool (maybe with an "end") because it's short:
> 5.times i
>   print i

but the "short" ruby one is ok, too:

5.times {|i| print i}

> 5. Map

i use this:
> arr.map{|e| e * 2}

to much letters: ;)
> arr.map do |e|
>   e * 2
> end

looks very nice:
> arr.map(e, e * 2)

grr, i want to know what happens to my vars...
i don't like this much:
> arr.map(e * 2) # variable is 'e' (element) by default
