Ruby 1.9 Fun
Dave Thomas (of Pragmatic Programmers fame) describes some new Ruby 1.9 syntax:
first, *, last = 1,2,3,4,5 puts first puts last
will produce
1 5
The same syntax also works for method definitions
def test( first, *, last) puts first puts last end test( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 )
will produce the same output as above.
