ruby-eh.rb

One of the hardships about being Canadian is that most programming languages are quite simply rude. Descriptions like ‘imperative’ and ‘declarative’ are enough to fill even the most impolite of Canadians with a vague sense of discomfort. Fear no more! Ruby is the sort of language that addresses all these concerns, and adds a familiar, maple-syrupy feel to your code.

You're one load "ruby-eh.rb" away from writing the correct and polite code you've always wanted. Here is a sample of what ruby-eh.rb can do for you:

Polite code

giver "maple syrup".please.reverse.eh?

French code

def articles_aleatoires(matrice)
    matrice.echantillon(1 + rand(matrice.compte))
end

Canadian exceptions

# ArgumentError: uncaught throw ArgumentError. Take off, hoser.

Unicode

if ☆ == ☂
    puts ☎
end

Spaces in function names

take off
# >> If you don't mind, ♫ ♪ Coo loo coo coo, coo coo coo coo ♬ ♪
# => nil 

Open issues

There is not a single reference to hockey, curling, or meeses, which by most Canadian standards is unacceptable.
