== Features == === Method Chaining === Sugar introduces method chaining syntax, allowing multiple method calls to be written in a more linear and natural way. Instead of using nested function calls, developers can use the dot operator (`.`) to chain methods together, improving code readability and reducing the need for temporary variables. === Simplified Function Declaration === With Sugar, function declarations are simplified using the `def` keyword followed by the function name, arguments, and the function body. This helps reduce boilerplate code and makes it easier to define functions. === Enhanced Pattern Matching === Sugar provides an enhanced pattern matching syntax that allows developers to match on multiple patterns in a single expression. This feature simplifies complex pattern matching scenarios and makes code more concise. === Error Handling === Sugar introduces a simplified error handling syntax using the `try`, `catch`, and `rescue` keywords. This makes it easier to handle exceptions and provides a clear and consistent way to deal with error conditions. === Import Alias === With Sugar, developers can use the `as` keyword to define an alias for imported modules. This feature helps avoid naming conflicts and provides a convenient way to reference modules with long or repetitive names. === Expressive Data Structures === Sugar provides a more expressive syntax for working with data structures such as lists, maps, and tuples. This makes it easier to manipulate and transform data, improving code readability and reducing the need for explicit conversions.
