It's annoying that this is valid Ruby and prints "hi mom"

Raw

gistfile1.rb

	if false
	elsif
	print "hi "
	else
	puts "mom"
	end

:) thinking of switching to python?

aberant commented Mar 22, 2011

does arranging it this way help you see what it's doing?

if false
elsif print "hi "
else
puts "mom"
end

I know what it's doing. It's just annoying.

toothrot commented Mar 22, 2011

don't do that

Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more Clojure's servant.

(cond false nil
      (print "hi ") nil
      :else (println "mom"))

Let the parens flow through you.

this should annoy you more then...

only works in RUBY_VERSION < 1.9.x
unless(puts "hi"): puts "mom" end
