Hi, From: Dave Thomas <Dave / thomases.com> Subject: [ruby-talk:01694] Conventions for our Ruby book Date: 02 Mar 2000 11:38:37 -0600 > So, we were wondering what people thought. Is the '#' notation a good > one? Will is confuse newcomers who pick up the book? Is there any > alternative that might be easier to read (For example, String.new, but > <i>String</i>.downcase)? What should we do? Using '#' is very popular in Java community. I think no need for alternatives. Tomoyuki Kosimizu greentea / fa2.so-net.ne.jp
