…the block appears (the local variables, the current object, and so on) and then enters the method. Matz says that any method can be called with a block as an implicit argument. Inside the method, you can call the block using the yield keyword with a value. Blocks are not objects, but they can be converted into objects of class Proc . One way a block can be converted to a Proc object is by passing a block to a method whose last parameter is prefixed with an ampersand. That parameter will …

…Paul Graham , whose fantastic essays are a must-read to every serious programmer. Matz reminded that Paul Graham created a Lisp-ish language called Arc, but it was not very popular. But imagining the 100 year language, we can improve on current languages, to get to the taste of Paul Graham's. And there's this Lisp-ish language called Ruby, invented by a guy named Matz, and this language is popular. So, maybe as a language designer, Matz is better than Paul Graham…
