hello, i need to define a number of custom attribute readers on my class. so far i have come up with two ways to do it. the code below is a simplified version. but i cannot decide which one is "preferable". whis one would the experts use? why? thanks konstantin class A [:nameof].each { |x| module_eval "def #{x}() @#{x} end" } def initialize() @nameof = self.class.to_s end end class B [:nameof].each { |x| define_method(x) { instance_variable_get("@#{x}") } } def initialize() @nameof = self.class.to_s end end
