Hello everybody ! I just read a nice article about traits and now I’m wondering if they’re on the roadmap of ruby. I read that matz said something about them on the Ruby Conference 2005, but are there concrete plans ? Or is there already a workaround for the current version ?

Okay, maybe I should search more carefully next time 🙂 I didn’t want to start another trait-thread. But want about the implementation in the next ruby release ?

No idea about the future roadmap for Ruby, but this is an interesting paper. Thanks for the link. Cheers, Dave
