Good article, but it’s a Ruby idiom to write constants in UPPERCASE.

Anonymous Coward —

@Anonymous Coward No, the ruby idiom is to write constants in CamelCase. Or do you write ARRAY, HASH, OBJECT etc.? (or do you think those three weren’t constants?)

Another Anonymous Coward —

I would say it is idiomatic to write (constants representing) classes and modules in CamelCase and constant values in UPPERCASE (e.g. PI).

Yet Another Anonymous Coward —

Here’s a favorite of mine:

a = “hello” [*a].each {|w| puts w }

a = [“hello”, “, world”] [*a].each {|w| puts w }
