From: tom@... Date: 2015-07-01T15:52:21+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:69833] [Ruby trunk - Feature #6284] Add composition for procs Issue #6284 has been updated by Tom Stuart. I support the proposed `Proc#*`/`Method#*` syntax and semantics. The feature being added is **function composition**; not relation composition, not method chaining. Its target audience is most likely to read `f * g` as ���`f` after `g`���, so that���s how it should work. Perhaps some Ruby programmers will not use this feature directly (as with `Proc#curry`) because they neither program nor think in a functional style, but it should be designed to be useful and familiar to those who do. The proposed implementation achieves that. The asterisk isn���t ideal, but it���s the best choice available. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6284: Add composition for procs https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6284#change-53231 * Author: Pablo Herrero * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto ---------------------------------------- =begin It would be nice to be able to compose procs like functions in functional programming languages: to_camel = :capitalize.to_proc add_header = ->val {"Title: " + val} format_as_title = add_header << to_camel << :strip instead of: format_as_title = lambda {|val| "Title: " + val.strip.capitalize } It's pretty easy to implement in pure ruby: class Proc def << block proc { |*args| self.call( block.to_proc.call(*args) ) } end end =end ---Files-------------------------------- 0002-proc.c-Implement-Method-for-Method-composition.patch (2.71 KB) 0001-proc.c-Implement-Proc-for-Proc-composition.patch (3.73 KB) 0003-proc.c-Support-any-callable-when-composing-Procs.patch (4.01 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
