Message: [QUOTE="Daniel Schierbeck, post: 4488079"] I know this has been suggested before, but the only reason for rejection i found at the RCR archive was a dead end link... Can someone explain to me why this shouldn't be implemented in Ruby: def foo(@a, @b = "foo", @@c = "bar") # do something end # should do the same as this def foo(a, b = "foo", c = "bar") @a = a @b = b @@c = c # do something end I personally think it looks very interesting, especially since most initialize methods (at least most of those I write) just set instance and class variables.
