Language Spec.
|
|
|
|
- def foo; .. rescue .. end
|
|
- compile time string concatenation, "hello" "world" => "helloworld"
|
|
- rescue modifier; a rescue b => begin a rescue; b end
|
|
- %w(a\ b\ c abc) => ["a b c", "abc"]
|
|
- objectify symbols
|
|
- class variable (prefix @@)
|
|
- rescue RuntimeError in err ??
|
|
* operator !! for rescue. ???
|
|
* objectify characters
|
|
* ../... outside condition invokes operator method too.
|
|
* ... inside condition turns off just before right condition.???
|
|
* package or access control for global variables??
|
|
* named arguments like foo(nation:="german") or foo(nation: "german").
|
|
* method to retrieve argument information (needs new C API)
|
|
* multiple return values, yield values. maybe incompatible ???
|
|
* cascading method invocation ???
|
|
* def Class#method .. end ??
|
|
* class Foo::Bar<Baz .. end, module Boo::Bar .. end
|
|
* def Foo::Bar::baz() .. end ??
|
|
* I18N (or M17N) script/string/regexp
|
|
* Fixnum 0 as false ????
|
|
* discourage use of symbol variable (e.g. $/, etc.) in manual
|
|
* discourage use of Perlish features by giving warnings.
|
|
* `exception' method to be alternative for `$!'. ??

Hacking Interpreter
|
|
|
|
- use eban's fnmatch
|
|
- RUBYOPT environment variable
|
|
- alias $defout $>
|
|
- retrieve STACK_LEVEL_MAX from users' limit.
|
|
- remove end_proc registered out of require only
|
|
- all object made freezable
|
|
* non-blocking open (e.g. for named pipe) for thread
|
|
* avoid blocking with gethostbyname/gethostbyaddr (use fork ???)
|
|
* objectify interpreters ???
|
|
* remove rb_eval() recursions
|
|
* syntax tree -> bytecode ???
|
|
* scrambled script, or script filter
|
|
* setuid ruby
|
|
* performance tune for in-block (dynamic) local variables.
|
|
* generational GC ?? (is it possible?)

Standard Libraries
|
|
|
|
- hash[key] = nil does not remove entry; hashes may have nil as the value.
|
|
- hash.fetch(key) raises exception if key is not found.
|
|
- Array#{first,last,at}
|
|
- Dir.glob(pat){|f|...}
|
|
- sprintf/printf's $ to specify argument order
|
|
- Dir.glob("**/*.c") ala zsh
|
|
- Remove Enumerable#{size,length}
|
|
- Array#slice, Array#slice!
|
|
- String#slice, String#slice!
|
|
- Marshal should handle generic instance variables.
|
|
- debugger for thread programming
|
|
- SyntaxError, NameError, LoadError and NotImplementError are subclasses of
|
|
ScriptError<Exception, not StandardError.
|
|
- Thread::start gives arguments, not a thread object to the block
|
|
- regexp: (?>..), \G
|
|
- Struct::new([name,]member,...)
|
|
- IO#reopen accepts path as well
|
|
- Kernel#scan
|
|
- call initialize for builtin classes too (not yet: Class, Module)
|
|
- performance tune for String's non-bang methods.
|
|
- 'w' template for pack/unpack
|
|
* String#scanf(?)
|
|
* Object#fmt(?)
|
|
* Integer#{bin,oct,hex,heX}
|
|
* Time::strptime
|
|
* Integer[num], Float[num]; Fixnum[num]?
|
|
* method to retrieve non-number trailer for to_i/to_f.
|

|
|
* String#{pred,prev}, String#downto
