That’s just syntax.

>>> 10 .yearsTraceback (most recent call last):  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'years'

Does Ruby require the use of [] and {} there? Because those %w/%i/etc things look like custom quoting operators and at least in Perl you can use any delimiter you want: qw(a b c) is a list of strings, but so are qw+a b c+ and qw;a b c;.

I like the original.
