    Works even better in Ruby, as the code as given is valid, you just need to monkey patch length:

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby
    
    module DayLength
      def length
        if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
          "24 hours"
        else
          super
        end
      end
    end
    
    class String
      prepend DayLength
    end
    
    day = "Monday"
    
    x = day.length
    
    print(x)

    It could be Ruby; puts is more common, but there is a print. With some silly context, the answer could even be correct:

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby
    
    module DayLength
      def length
        if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
          "24 hours"
        else
          super
        end
      end
    end
    
    class String
      prepend DayLength
    end
    
    day = "Monday"
    
    x = day.length
    
    print(x)
    

















  • I prefer to come at it from an immediate utility level, and I think a good place to start with that is home-manager.

    You can install nix and home-manager on any Linux distribution or MacOs. It lets you, in a single place, specify what packages you want, services you want to run at the user level, and what config files you want in your home directory. For a lot of things, home-manager has built-in config options, but you can also specify arbitrary config files.

    Then, you can take this one file to a new computer, and with no other config, have everything set-up the way you like it.

    NixOs allows you to do this for your whole system.

    It also has a bunch of other benefits, which tie-in to the jargon you bring up. But if you want to check it out, I’d worry about that later.
