Subject: [ruby-core:95521] [Ruby master Feature#16275] Revert `.:` syntax
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 01:33:01 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-82294.20191024013301.4838df3ca387e1b7@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-16275.20191023152613@ruby-lang.org
Issue #16275 has been updated by shan (Shannon Skipper).
I've already fallen into using ` .:` in 2.7. I'd personally miss `.:` since it feels super natural to me.
----------------------------------------
Feature #16275: Revert `.:` syntax
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16275#change-82294
* Author: naruse (Yui NARUSE)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee:
* Target version:
----------------------------------------
`obj.:method` is introduced at r66667 by #12125 and #13581.
It encourages the functional programming style in Ruby.
But this shorthand syntax is just for methods of `self` without arguments.
It causes another feature requests like #16273 (and lambda compositions like #15428).
Such features will introduce a new view of Ruby but no one illustrates the whole picture yet.
I worried about such patch work may cause a conflict with future expansion of functional programing style or a just a garbage feature.
`.:` syntax is introduced in 2.7.0 preview1, not released in production yet.
How about reverting at this time and re-introduce with a big picture.
