Finishing Moves

Ruby includes a huge amount of default awesomeness that tackles most common development challenges. But every now and then, you find yourself performing contortions to achieve results that, honestly, should feel more natural given the language's design elegance. Finishing Moves is a collection of methods designed to assist in those "why is this awkward?" scenarios.

In the right situation, they kick serious cyclomatic butt.

Ruby Version

Tested against all supported versions of official RVM, currently 2.7.6 and above.

Development approach

• Never override default Ruby behavior, only add functionality.
• Follow the Unix philosophy of "Do one job really well."
• Minimize assumptions, e.g. avoid formatting output, mutating values, and conditional logic flows.
• Play nice with major Ruby players like Rake, Rails, and Sinatra.
• Test all the things.
