Ruby adds experimental support for rightward assignments

Interesting stuff, so basically you can do this;

42 => age

instead of this:

age = 42

and

[170, 65] => height, weight

instead of

height, weight = [170, 65]

It’s an experimental feature, which means it could be removed depending on the feedback received.

What do you think? Would you use it?


I wonder if something like:

42 >> age

Might be worth considering too?
