class A private def initialize puts "wtf?" end end A.new #still works and calls initialize and
class A private def self.new super.new end end doesn't work altogether
So what's the correct way? I want to make new private and call it via a factory method.

Yes, we can declare a constructor as private. If we declare a constructor as private we are not able to create an object of a class. We can use this private constructor in the Singleton Design Pattern.
Java allows us to declare a constructor as private. We can declare a constructor private by using the private access specifier. Note that if a constructor is declared private, we are not able to create an object of the class. Instead, we can use this private constructor in Singleton Design Pattern.
The classic way to make class methods private is to open the eigenclass and use the private keyword on the instance methods of the eigenclass — which is what you commonly refer to as class methods.
Try this:
class A private_class_method :new end More on APIDock
