I noticed that the code in the rails framework is using the following convention all over the place:
class SomeClass
  class << self
     def some function
     end
  end
end
rather than
class SomeClass
end
def SomeClass.function
end
and
class SomeClass
  def self.somefunction
  end
end
What is the reason for this design choice? They all seem to accomplish them same thing
