Ruby Tricks

A brief explanation of what some of these are doing, or moreover, a use case for why I would want to use them would be handy.

I was hoping for something like "static code analysis" and "make code more robust", not for "magic" and "even more magic".

One very obscure trick in ruby is the flip-flop operator. Never used it and I probably never will. There&#x27;s an open issue to get rid of it[1]. Has anyone ever had a real use case for it?<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.ruby-lang.org&#x2F;issues&#x2F;5400" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.ruby-lang.org&#x2F;issues&#x2F;5400</a>

Thanks for sharing this. Love this format. Learned about PStore, cycle, take, fetch, securerandom, and more. May add to it.<p>Tweeted:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;sivers&#x2F;status&#x2F;660875966466514944" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;sivers&#x2F;status&#x2F;660875966466514944</a>
