Issue #8459 has been updated by Akira Tanaka. Status changed from Assigned to Feedback I'm negative. Such convention makes naming new method more difficult. Naming is already very difficult. I don't want to it more difficult. ---------------------------------------- Feature #8459: Idiomatic method names for Socket https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8459#change-46556 * Author: Amos King * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Akira Tanaka * Category: ext * Target version: next minor ---------------------------------------- In order to still have the POSIX standard functionality as well as an alternative idiomatic ruby version it would be nice to have some of the methods aliased in the core. ie Soket.gethostname => Socket.hostname There is already a pull request open on the github version of Ruby. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/320#issuecomment-18591614 Again this changes none of the current method names. This is only to add some idiomatic method names to match. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
