Proc#compose

This gem does just one thing: it adds compose to Proc, with the alias *. Based on this experiment. It performs just a little worse than chaining map'd blocks, and currently does not preserve lambdas (they are coerced into Proc).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'proc_compose'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install proc_compose

Usage

First things first:

require 'proc_compose'

Now, given two Proc objects, say:

double = proc {|a| a * 2 }
triple = proc {|a| a * 3 }

We can compose them:

(double * triple).(2)
=> 12

So you can do things like this:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map(&(double * triple))
=> [6, 12, 18, 24, 30]

Neat!

Alternatives

You can write your own version in Ruby, or use funkify. Though its performance is worse it is pure Ruby and you get some really nice other stuff like >= and |!
