Subject: [ruby-core:119794] [Ruby master Feature#20793] Allow Multiple Arguments for the .is_a? Method
Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2024 08:58:15 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-110479.20241107085814.53214@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <redmine.issue-20793.20241010085019.53214@ruby-lang.org>

Issue #20793 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

`is_a?(A, B)` can be read as `is_a?(A) || is_a?(B)` or `is_a?(A) && is_a?(B)`. This ambiguity might lead to less readability.

Matz.


----------------------------------------
Feature #20793: Allow Multiple Arguments for the .is_a? Method
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20793#change-110479

* Author: artemb (Artem Borodkin)
* Status: Rejected
----------------------------------------
I propose allowing multiple arguments to be passed to the .is_a? Method imply "OR" semantics:


``` ruby
name.is_a? String, Symbol
```

Currently, we need to write the following to achieve the same functionality:

``` ruby
[String, Symbol].include?(name.class)
```
