Helpful syntax errors | Mirthful Snowflake

https://blog.fallingsnow.net/2009/11/29/helpful-syntax-errors

Life and tech stuff by Evan Phoenix. November 29, 2009. Syntax errors are a part of life for programmers. The language of the computer, no matter how flexible the language, is very picky.

Syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND. Here is a quick example:. Class Spaghetti class Sause def add(plate) while more? Thats a b...

https://blog.fallingsnow.net/2008/11/18/a-sad-day

Life and tech stuff by Evan Phoenix. November 18, 2008. November 18, 2008. There have been some sad developments within the Engine Yard Rubinius team that I’d like to address head on.

We got a...

Def euler(x); cos(x) i*sin(x); end. Euler(PI) # = -1. Rubinius is a community project. Yesterday was a tough day. You can read the details. It was especially hard for me because Wilson. Was a mentor of sorts and the first person I talked to when I dropped into the #rubinius channel nearly two years ago. He allayed any fear I had that Rubinius would fragment the Ruby community and helped me get started contributing. Was merely an expedient to fast-track Rubinius development. There’s tons of beautifu...
