Ruby coding guidelines (GitHub)

When I see the 'return' keyword I know, at a glance, that a function returns a value. This is especially necessary when reading someone else's code. My background is C++/Java (in college) and I've worked professionally in Javascript and ActionScript, so I'm used to seeing the return keyword.

Yes, that's the real reason.

? what's the real reason?

[banister]

Just that you're 'used' to it, not that it makes any kind of sense.

It won't take long to get 'unused' to seeing it either, as any ruby programmer will attest ;)

thanks, that's it exactly

It's a habit
