Subject: [ruby-talk:03899] require, ensure, and Design by Contract


Hi Ruby people,

currently, I am reviewing the forthcoming Ruby book of Dave and Andy.
Some time ago, Andy told me, he planned to add direct support for Design
by Contract to Ruby. As a convonced Eiffelist, furthermore working for
the company, where Eiffel has its origin :-), I would like a Design by
Contract support in Eiffel very much.

Sadly, I discovered though that two of the "classic" DbC keywords,
"require" and "ensure", already have another meaning in Ruby. Are there
currently any plans to add Design by Contract support to Ruby? If yes, I
would likke to give some input.

Best regards,
Patrick
