I noticed this here: http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?Rite
a, b, c = x
# where x = [1,2,3]
# should they be:
# a=1,b=2,c=3
# or:
# a=[1,2,3],b=nil, c=nil
Matz still hasn’t decided, but it will be either:
Represent multiple values by subclass of Array, say Array::Values<Array
or
Separating arrays and multiple values strictly in syntax
What about the syntax:
a, b, c = *x
a=1,b=2,c=3
a, b, c = x
a=[1,2,3],b=nil,c=nil
or
a, b, c = *x
a=1,b=2,c=3
a, b, c = x
Raises an argument count mismatch type exception
They are what would make sense to me.
