[Why's] 4.Floating Little Leaves of Code

• http://mislav.uniqpath.com/poignant-guide/book/chapter-4.html
• 1. The Leaf as a Status Symbol in Ambrose
• Animal Perfect L.L.C. is a firm, which build new animals and salvage old-style animals for parts.
• Starmonkeys are one of such animals.
• "A lot of Rubyists like to think of methods as a message."
• A Ruby program consists of two parts:
  
  1. Defining things.
  2. Putting those things into action.
• Assignment (=) is the simplest example of defining something in Ruby.
• Starmonkey creation process looks in Ruby as follows:
  

  starmonkey = ratchet.attach( captive_monkey, pipe.catch_a_star ) + deco_hand_frog
  

• 2. Small and Nearly Worthless
• Nil: "In Ruby, nil represents an emptiness."
• False: "Generally speaking, everything in Ruby has a positive charge to it. This spark flows through strings, numbers, regexps, all of it. Only two keywords wear a shady cloak: nil and false draggin’ us down."
• True: "To be honest, I can’t be around someone who always has to be right. This true is always saying, 'A-OK.'"
