Ruby has its faults...

... but it does have some interesting features, like performing arithmetic on arrays (Aka Lists). If you don't know what I am talking about (Psuedocode):
List l = [ "item1", "item2", "item3", "item4" ]
List l2 = l - "item1" # l2 is [ "item2" , "item3", "item4" ]
List l3 = l + "item5" # l3 is [ "item1" , "item2", "item3", "item4", "item5" ]You can also add / subtract other arrays. I decided to replicate this in C# with a custom list class (it inherits from List<T> and adds the operators). Anyone want the code?

Did you replicate the immutability, or do your operators mutate the list?

IMO, arithmetic operator overloading is evil, and I see no reason to replace .NET's
Remove,RemoveAt,Add,InsertAtandAddRangemethods. Of course, the duck-typed advocates love this sort of crap because you can have a function that takes a string, an array, a number, whatever, and "+" will do whatever the interpreter deems appropriate for the types. I will never be comfortable with that kind of madness. MarcLatest Article - Merkle Trees Learning to code with python is like learning to swim with those little arm floaties.

I am going to do a rework on it a bit to make it immutable (creating a new list each time).

You might want to look at the Immutable Collections[^] package, rather than building on the existing mutable collections. :)

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s probably gonna throw exceptions at runtime.

I'll look at that. I may end up removing the class instead.

Aids in abstracting bugs, something which code maintainers really appreciate.
