I'm using a pluign to Ruby on Rails that does something similar
but by overloading operators. The problem with this approach,
in Ruby, is that you cannot overload operators like || and &&,
so instead they overload | and & resulting in new problems like
operator precedence. Example:
Person.where{ |e| (e.name == "John") & (e.address == "Main
street") }
Is this in any way better than the basic Ruby
where( name: 'John', address: 'Main street' )
? Or was it just something quick and contrived to show the
behavior, and not the utility, of the plugin? Just curious.
