你说的是串联?那么#concat方法呢?

a = 'foo'
a.object_id #=> some number
a.concat 'bar' #=> foobar
a.object_id #=> same as before -- string a remains the same object

公平地说，concat别名为<<。

公平地说，concat别名为<<。

+操作符是正常的连接选择，并且可能是连接字符串的最快方式。

+和<<之间的区别在于<<改变了对象的左侧，而+则不会。

irb(main):001:0> s = 'a'
=> "a"
irb(main):002:0> s + 'b'
=> "ab"
irb(main):003:0> s
=> "a"
irb(main):004:0> s << 'b'
=> "ab"
irb(main):005:0> s
=> "ab"

从http://greyblake.com/blog/2012/09/02/ruby-perfomance-tricks/

使用<<即concat比+=更有效，因为后者创建了一个临时对象并用新对象覆盖第一个对象。

require 'benchmark'

N = 1000
BASIC_LENGTH = 10

5.times do |factor|
  length = BASIC_LENGTH * (10 ** factor)
  puts "_" * 60 + "\nLENGTH: #{length}"

  Benchmark.bm(10, '+= VS <<') do |x|
    concat_report = x.report("+=")  do
      str1 = ""
      str2 = "s" * length
      N.times { str1 += str2 }
    end

    modify_report = x.report("<<")  do
      str1 = "s"
      str2 = "s" * length
      N.times { str1 << str2 }
    end

    [concat_report / modify_report]
  end
end

输出:

我更喜欢使用Pathname:

require 'pathname' # pathname is in stdlib
Pathname(ROOT_DIR) + project + 'App.config'

关于ruby文档中的<<和+:

+:返回一个包含连接到str的other_str的新String

<<:将给定对象连接到str。如果对象是0到255之间的Fixnum，则将其转换为连接前的字符。

因此，区别在于第一个操作数变成了什么(<<在适当的位置进行更改，+返回新字符串，因此内存更重)，如果第一个操作数是Fixnum(<<将添加，就像它是代码等于该数字的字符，+将引发错误)

这里有更多的方法:

"String1" + "String2"

"#{String1} #{String2}"

String1<<String2

等等……
