Indeed, I perhaps shouldn't have employed the wording "either that or". Nevertheless, I still think that both full blogging and comment threads are solutions, even if perhaps to different problems. I'll continue to employ both. :)

I hope nothing bad happens to FriendFeed, I really like it. :( But certainly, I'm of the opinion that we should posting more than just to microblogs.

Robert: Ah, of course! Well that's certainly one situation you'd want to use it. However, I'm not sure how often I'd find myself in that situation. :)

You can't take what is in the ensure block and put it after the end of begin-end. This code example should elucidate:


begin
  puts 1
  raise "Oh no!"
rescue Exception => e
  puts 2
  raise e
ensure
  puts 3
end
puts 4

Output:


1
2
3
-:3: Oh no! (RuntimeError)

ehsanul: I think you misunderstood my question. :) Perhaps a code example will help. I was wondering why we need this:


    begin  
      do_work
      something_at_end_of_begin_block
    rescue Exception => e  
    else  
      something_in_else_block
    end

When we can do this instead:


    begin  
      do_work
      something_at_end_of_begin_block
      something_in_else_block
    rescue Exception => e  
    end

(Gah, can't format code blocks. Disqus: fail)
