From: Charles Oliver Nutter Date: 2012-11-19T23:48:49+09:00 Subject: Blog post: Refining Ruby I've been trying to sort out Ruby 2.0's refinements from an implementation and usability perspective, and I figured a blog post might get more people involved in the discussion. I've posted that here: http://blog.headius.com/2012/11/refining-ruby.html I'm really hoping folks will jump into the conversation to help refinements move forward the right way (or else to help get them removed) so that Ruby 2.0 isn't irreparably damaged by a bad feature or bad implementations of it. Thanks for your time :) - Charlie
