There's more than one way to write the corresponding Ruby snippet. If I had been writing it, I might have translated it something like this: class BlogPost class << self attr_accessor :count end self.count = 0 attr_accessor :title, :body def initialize(title, body) @title = title @body = body @published = false BlogPost.count += 1 end def publish! @published = true end def to_s = @title def count = self.class.count end This avoids needing to understand what `@@count` means, and lets you use the same syntax as in python: `BlogPost.count += 1`. Or, if I were in a codebase using static type annotations with Sorbet, I'd do something like this[0]. To each their own, write code in the language and style that makes the most sense to you.
