Has ruby been unwatted? :)

Hi,

I was recently watching Gary Bernhardt’s “Wat” video. When i tried to
recreate the “method_missing” trick in irb, got the following error…

irb(main):001:0> def method_missing(*args); args.join(" "); end
=> nil
(irb):1: stack level too deep (SystemStackError)

has ruby been unwatted? :slight_smile:

IRB must be doing something that isn’t compatible. Instead of declaring
a
global method missing, put it on the main object (then you aren’t
affecting
the behaviour of everything else).

def self.method_missing(*args); args.join(" "); end
