Sigh
I'm going to be writing a lot of ruby now.
*sigh*
# Sigh. Automatic semicolons are a disease.
foo =\
bar\
.select { |e| e.yah? }\
.collect { | e| e.noooo! }\
.select { |e| e.ok? }

Err, flashbacks I mean.

Ruby will not insert semicolons if it would be syntactically incorrect to do so:
foo =
bar.
select { |e| e.yah? }.
collect { | e| e.noooo! }.
select { |e| e.ok? }
However do tell me if you find an adequate replacement for strict.

If Ruby had more Smalltalk, it would be just fine.
