From: eregontp@... Date: 2018-09-18T09:58:13+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:89063] [Ruby trunk Feature#5400] Remove flip-flops in 2.0 Issue #5400 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). Just a quick opinion, deprecation is part of the migration part, better warn in a release in between than break functionality immediately. We also warn for continuation FWIW. I support removing flip-flops, it looks like a legacy strange behavior from Perl that doesn't belong to Ruby for me. I think there is no need for such magic and confusing syntax to do something like this. https://chrisseaton.com/truffleruby/flip-flops/ makes it clear there is little to no code using it, so I don't think it's an issue to deprecate and remove it. #14183 is likely much more relevant for a discussion about compatibility ;) ---------------------------------------- Feature #5400: Remove flip-flops in 2.0 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5400#change-74086 * Author: judofyr (Magnus Holm) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Target version: Next Major ---------------------------------------- Nobody knows them. Nobody uses them. Let's just get rid of flip-flops, shall we? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
