Loving the look of Ruby code

ruby-talk

Hi –

I just think Ruby code looks so great. I’m so glad we get to do
things like this:

module Data
  include DBDBD
  def parse
cmt = ""
each do |s|
  case s
  when END_RE
    yield cmt
  when DATA_RE
    yield cmt,s
    cmt = ""
  when COMMENT_RE
    cmt << s
  end
end
  end
end

I love it all, including the oft-maligned tailing end’s :slight_smile:

Just groovin’ on Ruby –

David

:slight_smile: I understand.

But the way the indentation came out made me laugh.
Like saying:
Boy, I love Perl code. Just look how beautiful and
intuitive this is:
&(&(#$%^#$(&^%$)#&^%^%@^#*$^&(#%^@%^+!@$^%^#^

:slight_smile:

Ha – I need to expand(1) things I guess :slight_smile:

module Data
include DBDBD
def parse
cmt = “”
each do |s|
case s
when END_RE
yield cmt
when DATA_RE
yield cmt,s
cmt = “”
when COMMENT_RE
cmt << s
end
end
end
end

Mine looks like cuneiform:

Or perhaps |-|/|_.

I think that one looks the best, more unique

It’s good to see your perl improving Hal :wink: That is pretty close to a
legal line of perl, you just have your bracketing a little confused. Is
this what you were trying to do?

#!/usr/bin/env perl

{&{{&{* #$%^#$(&^%$)#&^%^%@^#$^&(#%^@%^+!@$^%^#^
i=‘think’}}=‘bill’}}='great’;

print “I think that Bill is $bruford\n”;

sub think { ‘that’ };
sub bill { ‘bruford’ };

END

Hope this helps,

Mike

(sorry for the OT post :slight_smile:
