Subject: [ruby-core:53187] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8038] Keyword `object` to be used instead of `class <<`


Issue #8038 has been updated by trans (Thomas Sawyer).


@alexey I sympathize. I tend to avoid `class << foo` too b/c it "reads" so poorly.

@david Facets extends #extend to do that actually, but it does not add the the methods directly. Instead it creates an anonymous module which it includes into the singleton class. In this way it behaves the same as extending with a module.

I propose to introduce a new keyword (({object})) and to use it instead of the mysterious (({class <<})):

  object foo
    def bar
      # ...
    end
    def baz
      # ...
    end
  end

instead of

  foo = Object.new
  class << foo
    def bar
      # ...
    end
    def baz
      # ...
    end
  end
=end
