Following one-line method basically a ruby alias alternative, one-line is good. def go_to end def goto; go_to; end def go; go_to; end But will always be format to following form: def go_to end def goto go_to end def go go_to end I consider it’s unnecessary

This is a subjective matter. In my opinion this: def foo; bar; end is less readable than this: def foo bar end If we allow the two forms then people will start making comments like “Hey, you should make this a one-liner” and so on. By not having the option to choose everything is simplified.

Related [RFC] endless method definition · Issue #9080 · crystal-lang/crystal · GitHub . Crystal tries to avoid aliases, so the more Crystal thing to do would just not define them at all. If you still want them, this would probably be a good use case for delegate : delegate :goto, :go, to: go_to

the go_to is a defined method, not a object, following code not work. def go_to puts "go_to" end delegate :goto, :go, to: go_to go goto 5 | delegate :goto, :go, to: go_to ^ Called macro defined in /home/zw963/Crystal/share/crystal/src/object.cr:1284:3 1284 | macro delegate(*methods, to …

Ah right, sorry delegate won’t help here since it’s basically trying to forward the #go method to the return value of go_to. So I’d just either not define the aliases or deal with the multi-line method. Don’t really have any other options I can think of.

Hi, the intention of this post is, this is a discuss, i consider the one-line method define like def meth; another_meth; end is clear enough to place on same line, but the crystal formatter always change it to three lines, i think it’s unnecessary. :joy:
