Question

In some language such as Haskell, it is possible to use any function taking two arguments as an infix operator.

I find this notation interesting and would like to ac

Answer 1

Based on Wayne Conrad's answer, I can write the following code that would work for any method defined in ruby top-level:

class Object
  def method_missing(method, *args)
    return super if args.size != 1
    # only work if "method" method is defined in ruby top level
    self.send(method, self, *args)
  end
end

which allows to write

def much_greater_than(a,b)
  a >= b * 10
end

"A very long sentence that say nothing really but should be long enough".much_greater_than "blah"

# or

42.much_greater_than 2

Thanks Wayne!
