OSCON: Chris Pine "Understanding Ruby's Object Model"
I didn't know a lick of Ruby, but I gambled on this and went anyway.
You really need the slides
to understand the talk, but what I came away with is that Ruby has a
very interesting object model.
Apparently you can create singleton classes by defining a method on an
instance. I can see some situations where this is useful. G?? on of
the Activestate developers then started asking questions about
exposing the singleton classes, wondering if they could just be done
away with, thereby simplifying the conceptual model for Ruby as well
as improving performance. Matz confirmed that this would work.
Looks like I'm going to end up looking at Ruby after all. My issue
with Ruby (and Smalltalk) is that I don't think that I buy that
everything needs to be an object.
