Oddities

Ruby is adorable

begin; endA neutral, hypoallergenic code wrapper made of opinions.

do while

ensureWhen you absolutely, probably, maybe need it done approximately right.

Thread#raise

“I don’t use Thread#raise.”

Net/HTTP

flip-flopWhen only the occasional truth will do.

(expr1)..(expr2)inclusive, evaluates both expressions on each pass

(expr1)…(expr2)exclusive, evaluates one expression per iteration

scopeLike voting districts for your code, with more gerrymandering.

closuresThey’re exactly like that one thing from that one language except sometimes when they’re not.

portable code podsbits of code that travel a lot, but never forget their roots.

blocks

Integer#times

procs

lambdas

blocks and procs- arbitrary arguments!- return home

lambdas- strict arguments!- local return

goto!
