a new delegation technique :-)

This probably lies somewhere between obfuscated and pointless, but I
thought it was a fun example of Ruby's nimbleness:


class C
attr_reader :to_s
def initialize(str)
@to_s = str
end
end

s = C.new("hello")
puts s # hello

Ah.

I would put it in the pointfuscated group.

Cool.

I read the subject of your post and thought that perhaps you were going to
ask if someone else would organize RubyConf this year ;-)

LOL - I have to make a note for this localization.

but I
thought it was a fun example of Ruby's nimbleness:


class C
attr_reader :to_s
def initialize(str)
@to_s = str
end
end

s = C.new("hello")
puts s # hello

With the added

class C
alias :to_str :to_s
end

You can even do this:
=> 2
