Class methods do not exist in Ruby

by Arumoy Shome —

A fun little TIL moment I had while looking at the Ruby source code.

Nice info but just to be clear, according to wikipedia “class methods are methods that are called on a class rather than an instance”. So IMO ruby does have class methods, they’re just implemented as singleton methods.
