Message-ID: Hello hello! I was sorta shocked when I found out this mailinglist even existed. Being a newcomer to Ruby, though, extremely passionate about it, I'd like to ask you all this question: What's the coolest thing you do in Ruby? As for me, I envision myself to one day, after having achieved complete mastery, to make some CLI suite of scripts to do the same thing http://www.native-instruments.com, http://www.digidesign.com, various VST effects/instruments and other interesting audio signal processors. I envision myself creating an "army" of (fully legit) moneymaking scripts, as part of my quest to becoming a wealthy and successful IT entrepreneur. So how about you guys? -- http://www.home.no/reddvinylene From stas at FreeBSD.org Tue Aug 26 23:54:35 2008 From: stas at FreeBSD.org (Stanislav Sedov) Date: Tue Aug 26 23:55:10 2008 Subject: What's the coolest thing you do in Ruby?

I also think Ruby is a very good platform for this as it allows a great level of abstraction and iterative way of building software. As for me, I haven't done anything great in ruby yet. My biggest project in ruby is the distributed task system, that we use for our projects. It allows to submit jobs and track the status of job in realtime, while the working processes (workers) could attach to the bus and take tasks for execution. However, there seems to be memory leaks in the system somewhere, which I'm still trying to get rid of. So I may admit ruby isn't still quite ready for 24x7 mode projects, or I can't write in ruby well:-) Good luck with you projects! You can always ask for a help here. -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Good doesn't rhyme with food which doesn't rhyme with flood. You're going to need something that describes the phonetics of each word, like an open dictionary. With that, you should be able to identify which words rhyme. Rhyme is a subjective term as well. Some words "rhyme" even though they don't meet any formal definition of "rhyme," they just sound right together. But this is a lesser concern. -- Michael Morin Guide to Ruby http://ruby.about.com/ Become an About.com Guide: beaguide.about.com About.com is part of the New York Times Company
