Okay, so I've looked through a couple of my ruby books and done some googling to no avail.
What is the difference between main and initialize in Ruby? I've seen code that uses
class Blahblah
def main
some logic here
end
#more methods... end
and then calls it using Blahblah.new. Isn't new reserved only for initialize? if not, then what's the difference between the two?
