I don't find that more readable at all. I prefer: if deleteUser user.delete() end It's easier for me to read. It doesn't try to hide away logic.

It's easier for me to read. It doesn't try to hide away logic. And if the line gets longer if the conditional gets more complex or I want to add an else I can without reformatting.
- zamalek 6y agoIt's subjective, the point is that some people prefer it.
- kevincox 6y agoIt works well for some cases. You end up with return if a.nil? return if attempts < max_attempts In this case "return if" becomes like a keyword and you can ignore it and focus on the rest of the expression. It also seems very readable for other simple values like `return false if ...`. But I agree, as soon as the code to the left of the `if` gets non-trivial it is harder to read.
