Sigh

I'm going to be writing a lot of ruby now. :-/ I'm sad to be giving up the awesome tools available in perl. :-/

*sigh*

# Sigh. Automatic semicolons are a disease.
foo =\
  bar\
  .select { |e| e.yah? }\
  .collect { | e| e.noooo! }\
  .select { |e| e.ok? }

ugh

The trailing backslashes sooo give me TCL slashbacks. Urgh. 8-P

Err, flashbacks I mean.

There are ways around that

Ruby will not insert semicolons if it would be syntactically incorrect to do so:

foo =
    bar.
      select { |e| e.yah? }.
      collect { | e| e.noooo! }.
      select { |e| e.ok? }

However do tell me if you find an adequate replacement for strict.

If Ruby had more Smalltalk, it would be just fine.

foo =
    bar
      select { |e| e.yah? }
      collect { | e| e.noooo! }
      select { |e| e.ok? }.
