Probably go with to_a to follow conventions used by other code ie
(1..5).to_a

Original question isn't very clear, it sounds like OP might be wanting the
brackets to be output as well, in which case you could use the inspect
method on the array

puts @user. <http://user.name/>to_a.inspect

This is the same as

p @user. <http://user.name/>to_a
