Issue #15526 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). > What do you guys think? Ultimately you only have to convince matz, so the rest is just people giving opinions. :) > Not exactly what you are describing, but, funny enough, there is a way! config.then { |host:, port:| Admit it, you only wanted to use **.then**. ;) To the original suggestion: { host, port } = config Personally I am not a huge fan of the syntax proposal simply due to the {} part. My brain tends to associate this as a Hash, so I get confused when the {} is on the left side. {} already has quite some meanings, e. g. do/end. I would rather prefer to keep any meaning of {} smaller rather than expand on it. Syntax aside, I am not sure I like the proposal as such either, but I don't care that much really. My opinion is slightly against it but it's not that strong. > I know Ruby has Hash#values_at, but I think this way it's more readable > and understandable I prefer .values_at since I like object.method notation in general, unless there is a significantly shorter and readable way that does not cause that much confusion. But I think this is difficult to agree because what may be readable or easy to understand for one person, may be difficult to understand for someone else. Actually, although I myself still am not using yield_self/then, I'd rather prefer the variant shown by Victor, rather than the { } variant on the left hand side, but that may be just my own personal opinion. If you feel strongly about your proposal you could consider adding your proposal to any upcoming developer meeting. ---------------------------------------- Feature #15526: New way to destruct an object hash https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15526#change-76252 * Author: alissonbruno.sa (Alisson Santos) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- JavaScript has a nice a neat way to destruct objects. ~~~ javascript const person = { name: "John Doe", age: 33 }; const { name, age } = person; ~~~ Erlang has a similar way to destruct a tuple: ~~~ erlang Person = {"John Doe", 33} {Name, Age} = Person ~~~ I think it's very handy and would be nice if we have something similar in Ruby. ~~~ ruby config = { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 } { host, port } = config ~~~ I know Ruby has Hash#values_at, but I think this way it's more readable and understandable What do you guys think? -- 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>
