title: What is the difference between exit and abort?
body: <p>The <a href="http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.1/Kernel.html#method-i-abort" rel="noreferrer"><code>abort</code></a> documentation says  <code>abort</code> will</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Terminate execution immediately, effectively by calling Kernel.exit(false).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What exactly does "immediately" mean? What is the difference between <code>abort</code> and <code>exit</code> with non-<code>true</code> status?</p>
