From: Eric Hodel Date: 2011-11-23T03:10:55+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:41207] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5625] Remove profanity and pejoratives Issue #5625 has been updated by Eric Hodel. I think that profanity, pejorative or any other expression of frustration are equal indication that the code is ugly. While i also disagree with Andrew's point, I propose that we remove the ugly code instead of changing the expression of frustration. There is a lot of ugly code in RubyGems in particular. It has not been easy to find time to fix bugs, add new features and clean up ugly code. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5625: Remove profanity and pejoratives http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5625 Author: Andrew Grimm Status: Third Party's Issue Priority: Normal Assignee: Eric Hodel Category: Target version: ruby -v: F**king external libraries There are currently 6 lines with the f-word, 4 lines with "wtf" that weren't just random combinations of letters, and one line with "bullshit". While I personally dislike such profanity, the main benefit from getting rid of it is that it'd mean people of all ages could read Ruby's source code. There's also three lines where "lame" is used as a pejorative. Using a group of people as a pejorative should be avoided. -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
