[ruby-core:58170] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9076] New one-argument block syntax: &.
From:
"Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak)" <hanmac@...>
Date:
2013-11-05 09:01:26 UTC
List:
ruby-core #58170
Issue #9076 has been updated by Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak).
i got a working sample with .()
class Symbol
class SymbolHelper # for unknown reason it cant inherit from BasicObject
def initialize(obj,methId,*args)
@obj= obj
@args=args
@methId=methId
end
def method_missing(methId,*args)
return SymbolHelper.new(self,methId,*args)
end
def to_proc
proc {|obj| (@obj.nil? ? obj : @obj.to_proc.(obj)).public_send(@methId,*@args) }
end
end
def call(*args)
return SymbolHelper.new(nil,self,*args)
end
end
[1,2,3,4,5].map(&:to_s.(2)) #=> ["1", "10", "11", "100", "101"]
[1,2,3,4,5].map(&:to_s.(2).size) # => [1, 2, 2, 3, 3]
i hope that suits you guys

Feature #9076: New one-argument block syntax: &.

Hello,
I'd like to introduce a new syntax for blocks that have one argument.
Currently you can do this:
[1, 2, 3].map &:to_s
With the proposed syntax this will be written as:
[1, 2, 3].map &.to_s
Instead of ":" we use a ".".
The idea is that this new syntax is just syntax sugar that is expanded by the parser to this:
[1, 2, 3].map { |arg| arg.to_s }
This new syntax allows passing arguments:
[1, 2, 3, 4].map &.to_s(2) #=> ["1", "10", "11", "100"]
It also allows chaining calls:
[1, 10, 100].map &.to_s.length #=> [1, 2, 3]
You can also use another block:
[[1, -2], [-3, -4]].map &.map &.abs #=> [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
Pros:
- Doesn't conflict with any existing syntax, because that now gives a syntax error, so it is available.
- Allows passing arguments and chaining calls
- It's *fast*: it's just syntax sugar. The "&:to_s" is slower because the to_proc method is invoked, you have a cache of procs, etc.
- It looks ok (in my opinion) and allows very nice functional code (like the last example).
Cons:
- Only supports one (implicit) argument. But this is the same limitation of "&:to_s". If you want more than one argument, use the traditional block syntax.
- It's a new syntax, so users need to learn it. But to defend this point, users right now need to understand the &:to_s syntax, which is hard to explain (this calls the "to_proc" method of Symbol, which creates a block... vs. "it's just syntax sugar for")
What do you think?
We are using this syntax in a new language we are doing, Crystal, which has a syntax very similar to Ruby, and so far we think it's nice, simple and powerful. You can read more about it here: http://crystal-lang.org/2013/09/15/to-proc.html
