alt Hacker NewsI've always found it odd that and/or in Ruby isn't just considered equal to &&/||, and I have never really used the english operators except for the usual modifiers like if and unless.
What is a practical use case where the lower precedence makes sense?
Those two behave in the same way if you drop the parentheses:
1. statement if (condition || something)
2. (statement if condition) or something
