I wrote something like this in the past, it doesn't make sense in ruby.

The closest ruby way is:

    result = DoStuff
    return something if result.nil? # error, early exit

    result = OtherStuff(result)
    return something if result.nil? # error, early exit

No additional complexity. Otherwise usually it ends up just rewriting "programming".

With pattern matching there are also some alternatives now.
