Why doesn't this work in every language?
In other words, if you have a construct for sequencing multiple statements (line breaks and semicolons in Ruby), and another construct for altering the order of evaluation (parentheses in Ruby and most languages), why don't they work together seamlessly? The surprising thing here is not that Ruby allows it, but that many other popular languages don't.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
int a, b, c;
int d = (a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, a + b + c);
int e = (({int f = 1; e = f;}), e += 1);
printf("d is %d \n", d);
printf("e is %d \n", e);
return 0;
}
