• But the language supports it

  by Niranjan Paranjape and aakash dharmadhikari

  Discussing language constructs with fellow developers in the context of solving a particular problem is something we do routinely. While most such conversations are productive and useful, a fair portion degenerate into angry brawls. A pattern we've observed in the latter situation is that a surprising number of times the argument is that "Why shouldn't I use language feature X to achieve objective Y- after all, the language supports X."

  In this talk Aakash and Niranjan walk through a few features of the Ruby language which when used wisely allows programmers to solve problems elegantly but if they are used without caution can lead to bad code.
