Looks like some nice additions. I try to limit the use of .try in rails, however when working with legacy codebases it is much nicer then:<p>if @user &amp;&amp; @user.address &amp;&amp; @user.address.city 
  city = @user.address.city
end<p>Even though I write less Ruby then I once did, I still credit it as the language which shaped my career the most. I have worked so many great jobs because of Ruby.
