Ruby

Hello.

I might have missed something, but examples like:

if puts "!!!!1" elsif puts "!!!!2" elsif puts "!!!!3" else puts "!!!!4" end # Output: # !!!!1 # !!!!2 # !!!!3 # !!!!4 

if false puts "!!!!1" elsif 1==2 puts "!!!!2" elsif puts "!!!!3" else puts "!!!!4" end # Output: # !!!!3 # !!!!4 

are confusing. We probably should raise SyntaxError in the case when if/elsif is being used without any condition. What do you think about it?

Edited:

https://twitter.com/mamantoha/status/1154369189647454213 helped me to figure out that

The code like

if false puts "!!!!1" elsif 1==2 puts "!!!!2" elsif puts "!!!!3" else puts "!!!!4" end 

is similar to

if false puts "!!!!1" elsif 1==2 puts "!!!!2" elsif (puts "!!!!3") else (puts "!!!!4") end 

Probably Ruby should be more strict in those cases because such code is more prone to bugs.
