Lol, ouch, not sure how I could be so confused when I wrote that, sorry! ---------------------------------------- Bug #15123: Enumerable#compact proposal https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15123#change-74055 * Author: printercu (Max Melentiev) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Target version: * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hi! While Enumerable does not provide `#compact` method, it requires changing code in some cases to substitute array with enumerator. For example, to reduce memory usage it's usual to change `large_array.map { to_heavy_object }.chained_methods` to `large_array.lazy...`. However if `chained_methods` contains `compact`, this change will fail. Replacing `compact` with `reject(&:nil?)` fixes it. What do you think about adding `#compact` to Enumerable? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
