Short lambda syntax in Ruby 1.9
Ruby 1.9 brings a shorter way to define lambdas using the -> operator:
Copytwice = -> (x) { 2 * x } twice.call(5) # => 10
This is equivalent to:
Copytwice = lambda {|x| 2 * x } twice.call(5) # => 10
Note that the syntax is subtly different from Coffeescript where you define function parameters before the arrow: (x) -> { 2 * x }.
Once an application no longer requires constant development, it needs periodic maintenance for stable and secure operation. makandra offers monthly maintenance contracts that let you focus on your business while we make sure the lights stay on.
