How Did We Get Here?

A fair question, and one we ask ourselves regularly. Mental lapses aside, in Ruby at least you can find out exactly ``how you got there'' by using the method caller, which returns an Array of String objects representing the current call stack.

def catA
  puts caller.join("\n")
end
def catB
  catA
end
def catC
  catB
end
catC
produces:
prog.rb:5:in `catB'
prog.rb:8:in `catC'
prog.rb:10

Once you've figured out how you got there, where you go next is up to you.
