Had a 5 minute glance at the code. I don't think they realise that `self` is the default receiver in Ruby, judging by how many times I saw it used superfluously.
Anyway, kudos to them for actually releasing some code. I would like to contribute, does anyone know if they are accepting patches?
- RossM 16y agoAs far as I know they're accepting patches through github - fork away :)
- danieldon 16y agoSome people like to use explicit self to differentiate methods from local variables. Also, there are consistency issues. Explicit self is required for attribute writers and implicit self can call private methods on parent classes. Personally, I'm not a big fan of implicit self.
- look_lookatme 16y agoIt may be superfluous technically, but it could be coding standard on their part to eliminate any confusion. It's not that far of a stretch.
