I was writing some code, and there I found something odd, which made me
surprised :
class Object
def bar
#"I got #{@bar}"
end
def bar=(bar)
'return'
end
end
self.bar = 10 # => 10 <~~ why not the value 'return', instead 10
send(:bar=,10) # => 'return'

Well it is by design, setter return right hand value rather then normal
return value.

This also confuses me.
setter return right hand value rather then normal return value.
Isn't that truly a logical thing? After all, it is a method call. I can
use setters without the =
def set_foo(i)
@foo = i
end

Simply because the parser treats "=" as a special case. Using "send" is
different.

ruby developers? If you do have, would you refer me ? This is my account

In Ruby they are treated differently, there's a syntax sugar for methods
ending with the "=" character.
So,
self.setter=(value)
And
self.setter = value
Are the same.
There's other internal differences. One of them I'm aware of is, on setters
the returned values is always the value of the assignment (right value) not
the value returned by the method.

Yes, (Joel) when using send it bypass this trick.
Using send even bypass private(ness) of the method.
class Foo
private
def my_private
"You got me"
end
end
foo = Foo.new
foo.my_private
# => NoMethodError: private method `my_private' called for
#<Foo:0x007f90fa191530>
foo.send(:my_private)
# => "You got me"

Yes, of-course. But in that case `set_foo` will not be called as
**setter**. It is simply a method which is setting/assigning the value
to the instance variable @foo.
