My issues with Modules

In researching topics for RailsCasts I often read code in Rails and other gems. This is a great exercise to do. Not only will you pick up some coding tips, but it can help you better understand what makes code readable.

A common practice to organize code in gems is to divide it into modules. When this is done extensively I find it becomes very difficult to read. Before I explain further, a quick detour on instance_eval.

You can find instance_eval used in many DSLs: from routes to state machines. Here's an example from Thinking Sphinx.

//javascript... NOT assembler... that would take too long:
var jumpAddressTable = new Array;
jumpAddressTable[0] = function (){ console.log('I like 0')};
jumpAddressTable[1] = function (){ console.log('This is an arbitrary function')};
jumpAddressTable[2] = function (){ console.log('2 is the smallest non-negative prime number')};
jumpAddressTable[3] = function (){ console.log('One more for the show')};

var switchVal = 2;
jumpAddressTable[switchVal]();
//would print '2 is the smallest non-negative prime number'
