<ul></ul><p>BigDecimal maintainers have actually gotten so angry about reports of this bug that they are locking new threads about it.</p>
<p>They WANT my code to break, lol.</p> Ruby master - Bug #14587: math library functions should NOT raise exceptionshttps://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14587?journal_id=708602018-03-08T05:14:56Zsorah (Sorah Fukumori)her@sorah.jp
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>Rejected</i></li></ul><p>Rejecting here as we've locked the previous issue at GitHub.</p> Ruby master - Bug #14587: math library functions should NOT raise exceptionshttps://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14587?journal_id=708612018-03-08T05:21:49ZAnon92929 (Anon Ymous)
<ul></ul><p>This just represents another way that the mentality of the Ruby programmers seems "sticky", to me.</p>
<p>No implicit conversion of int to string!!! We REFUSE to attempt .to_s automatically, and we INSIST on wasting everyone's time with this silly bug, forever!!!</p>
<p>Oh, you need to cast to a long decimal format? NOPE SORRY your code is broken now because "." is not technically a number, go spend a day trying to figure it out sucker! Your github issue has been CLOSED!!!</p>
<p>Is this how the ruby devs and community intend to win over new young coders? By making a language where everything breaks, there's no logical remediations even attempted, and you can't even trust simple MATH LIBRARIES not to halt your codebase on every version update?</p> Ruby master - Bug #14587: math library functions should NOT raise exceptionshttps://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14587?journal_id=708622018-03-08T05:23:13ZAnon92929 (Anon Ymous)

<p>The bug was rejectet at ruby-lang.org because the ticket was closed at github.</p>
<p>No critical thought required! Congratulations.</p> Ruby master - Bug #14587: math library functions should NOT raise exceptionshttps://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14587?journal_id=709582018-03-12T13:24:10Zshevegen (Robert A. Heiler)shevegen@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>The explanations and reasons have been stated and given already, Tectract.</p>
<p>See the comments made by bdewater or mrkn or yuki24. It is not a "bug" so<br>
it makes no real sense to claim that there is one when there is not.</p> Ruby master - Bug #14587: math library functions should NOT raise exceptionshttps://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14587?journal_id=713442018-03-31T10:40:46Znobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)nobu@ruby-lang.org
