And I thought Ruby was crack…

Apparently it’s not crack that Ruby brings to the table. Witness:

def date=(val)
    [:year, :month, :day].each do |meth|
        raise ArgumentError unless val.responds_to?(meth)
    end
    @date = val
end

Let’s see that one line again:

   [:year, :month, :day].each do |meth|

Yes, you read it here first! Ruby, promoting meth use. The first one’s free!

From this RubyTalk post on Duck Typing.

What’s next? A method that puts out??

    ‘puts out’ is definitely going into the code for my robot.

    Sorry guys, AhoysBoy is the real deal — I’m spoken for 😉 (Besides, marrying someone who proposed in a blog comment? Who wants to be a story on Reuter’s Oddly Enough?)
