It can be hard to notice the nice little things until you actually implement something. I'm just now knee deep in my first Ruby-based project, and not until just recently have I seen what people are talking about. Basically, it's all just time-saving stuff that doesn't make ugly code. You wont appreciate it until you write some code that should be hideous, but turns out (almost) elegant. Now that I've posted this, I'm off to post about something weird, unpredictable and frustrating that I've found in Ruby :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
