This probably lies somewhere between obfuscated and pointless, but I
thought it was a fun example of Ruby's nimbleness:

   class C
     attr_reader :to_s
     def initialize(str)
       @to_s = str
     end
   end

   s = C.new("hello")
   puts s # hello

:slight_smile:

LOL - I have to make a note for this localization. :slight_smile:

With the added

class C
  alias :to_str :to_s
end

You can even do this:

/ll/ =~ s

Cool.

I read the subject of your post and thought that perhaps you were going to
ask if someone else would organize RubyConf this year :wink:
