Who’s Ruby?

Written on Wednesday, the 4^th of January, 2006 at 2:36 pm and was filed under: Nerdity

shit = { /* stuff to do */ }
while shit
shit()
end

There’s a default argument $_
Wouldn’t that pick up the value of shit, since it was the last assignment?
while $_
$_()
end

But then, really, since it is the default argument, can’t you just do

while
$_()
end

or, really, since it’s the default,
while
end

See? Ruby writes itself!
