I've been using special character names in Duby for operators.
class MyInteger
def +(other)
# do something
end
end
...and the resulting Java class has a + method in it. When you add to
that Duby's full compile-time reflective type inference, you can build a
Ruby-like DSL using all the operators you'd expect (though as Neal G
points out, not < or >).
I really must get back to working Duby one of these days.
