11:15 PM Ruby Misc #12004: Code of Conduct
- I'd like to add my vote in favor of a CoC, too. The Swift team put a lot of thought into its community and currently adopts CC 1.3.

- Another issue with keyword args and consistency with args:
- *args are immutable
- **kwargs are mutable
~~~ruby
def splat *args
args << 'foobar'
end
arr = []
splat(*arr)
arr # => []
def double_splat **kwargs
kwargs[:...

- To return to the original question:
> Do you really want to do `splat(**nil)`?
I find that Ruby's flexibility has been nice when providing public interfaces in gems and libraries. It's nice to be able to pass in `*nil` to a public ... -
- Is there logic behind the current state that I'm unaware of? Consistency is predictability, which is important when learning a new interface. If splatted nils are swallowed, why not double-splatted nils? One raising where the other doesn...

- A single splat is useful to convert an object to an array as it passes from one method to the next, so I expected the double-splat to do the same and convert the object to a hash.
~~~ruby
def splat *args
p args
end
