I think that style of code is rather hard to read and really doesn't add any functionality that couldn't be done in a much more readable way in the same number of characters.
So I am wondering why the author thinks its so fantastic.
As for developing the language, I am usually for flexibility and allowing anything to be modified, however this type of change strikes me as not very useful.

If you are in favour of flexibility, you have to accept that people will use it for all sorts of things, not just ones you like.
- mrtron 19y agoI was talking about the fact that they are making that change on the core language. Providing the flexibility is different from putting it in the language. Anyways, I don't really care, saying anything other than 'I love ruby' is shunned anyways.
- raganwald 19y ago"saying anything other than 'I love ruby' is shunned anyways." Well... I welcome criticism of Ruby. Please say whatever you like in a comment right on the post. I've never shied away from writing about the things in Ruby that irritate me. How else will we progress if we don't scratch when we have an itch?
