Hello,
Dear Matz please accept our gratitude for designing ruby and putting
your best effort on keeping the development group and the language
itself alive and kicking!
We will do our best to spread the word out, using Ruby to create software
of analoguous excellence

Thanks, I’ve been wondering what the changes were for a while now. I didn’t
join the list long enough ago to be in on some of the discussion.
I took a look and there were a few things that stood out:
$VERBOSE now has 3 levels
nil - silence, false - medium (default), true - verbose
Ugh! That looks like it was probably done for backwards compatibility
reasons, but it is really counter-intuitive. I’ve never seen a situation
where false was a “medium” setting between nil and true. Any hope of
changing this to a more sane set for the next major release?
String#to_i
Now accepts optional base argument.
“101”.to_i(10) => 101
“101”.to_i(2) => 5
“101”.to_i(8) => 65
“101”.to_i(16) => 257
Yay! This is great.
A base argument of 0 guesses at the base:
“101”.to_i(0) => 101
“0b101”.to_i(0) => 5
“0101”.to_i(0) => 65
“0x101”.to_i(0) => 257
Well, I like the idea of guessing the base, but is 0 really the right optional
argument to use here? Shouldn’t it be a string (“guess”) or some other
value? Using 0 as an out-of-band value seems like C code rather than OO
code, where you’re forced to use a certain type of parameter so you have to
use certain values as “out of band” values.
Other than that, it looks like a really nice set of changes, some tweaks to an
already great language.
Btw, sorry if these issues have already been discussed, but this is the first
time I’ve seen them.

Speaking of changes, the ChangeLog file in the distribution now refers
to ChangeLog-1.8.0 for changes before 1.8.0, but this file does not seem
to be included.

\epsilon \upsilon \chi \alpha \rho \iota \sigma \tau \omega\
\pi \omicron \lambda \upsilon I suppose?
I only know the Greek alphabet due to physics but didn’t take any
Greek. Nevertheless the meaning is obvious if one knows what
Eucharist literally means :->
In German one would say ‘Vielen herzlichen Dank’.
Spanish: Muchas gracias.
Dutch: Dank U wel.
Italian: Mille gracie.
Russian: bo’lschoe Spasivo (IIRC it is spelled “bo’lschaje spasiva”)

I see your point. I’ll probably think of it
this way:
true → not false at all
false → false
nil → really, really false
Well, I like the idea of guessing the base, but is 0 really the right
optional
argument to use here? Shouldn’t it be a string (“guess”) or some other
value? Using 0 as an out-of-band value seems like C code rather than OO

to
use certain values as “out of band” values.
I think in this case this is OK. That type of thing is ugly
IMO when the out-of-range value isn’t truly out of range.
But a base of 0 is nonsensical. There’s no ideal solution,
but this seems OK to me.
I once experimented with base 1 and I was up all night
trying to count my nostrils.
