So I’ve been wondering, what are these comics about exactly?

Dude, milk totally splayed out of my nose when I read this.

Wow! Genetic nightmare – a man with an udder up his nose! So Monty Pythonish.

Daniel, too bad you weren’t drinking milk. ;) Oh, but really, I almost died myself! Brilliant!

I’m liking how these are going. You should definitely collect them into an array and put them on public display (sorted, of course)!

Unless I missed that link….. :D

M.T.

Your vigor for docs appalls me!

Dear method-formerly-known-as-splat,

I Love you: [pre] >> def reverse(l) >> h,*t = l >> [(t.empty? ? [] : reverse(t)),h].flatten >> end => nil >> reverse l => 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

>> def reverse(l)
>>   h,*t = l
>>   [(t.empty? ? [] : reverse(t)),h].flatten
>> end
=> nil
>> reverse l
=> [7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

Once upon a time… there was a little method known as splat. His mysterious ways are tied behind my once unreachable clouds of yesteryear.

Whoa whoa, Daniel, come on, don’t run so fast you splay your ankle. You’ll be in a unary cast before you know it.

Thank you for saying this! My favourite Least Surprise now.

Is there a group of people working on this yet? I want to join!

...seems like a new shade of green for the Least Surprised, no doubt coinciding with the new colors of US paper currency.

BTW : The Least Surprised is similar to The Daily Show in that one can learn about real happenings indirectly from observing it. So does this mean (and I hate to tip my hat here and admit how out fo the Ruby-loop I am these days) that the beloved splat operator is endangered?

It’s very hard to say what’s going to happen with splat. It’s definitely not going away. Matz has been… touching it alot lately. And especially, depending on who you talk to, whether it’s good or bad. Judging by the threads on ruby-core, it’s a hugely controversial topic. Google: what about splay?

One thing: there’s been some talk about adding a unary method for it. I like that idea alot, but only because I also really like fun.
