I was talking in terms of the constructs which the language can provide to avoid ifs. > And suggests that this is better: It depends in what terms are you thinking. A syntactic improvement is a also a benefit, isn't it?

Please note that this difference is only in this scenario (rake routes), it largely varies in other ones. Also, a big part of falcon patch is the ruby 2.0 garbage collector, which obviously will be available in ruby 2.0.
