Ruby T-Shirt Idea

[Austin_King]

Keywords: advocacy, silly t-shirts, Request For Feedback

Hello from Yet Another Newbie Ruby User,
I am not religious about languages, but have been really enjoying Ruby
and need a new T-shirt for around the office. So I thought I would
make one.

Picture this in bold red print on a white shirt

class RubyFan < OOProgrammer
include OpenSource
def initialize( name, talent )
super( name, talent )
# adjust for inherent Rubyness
@productivity = CodeFu.MASTER * talent
@stress_level = @stress_level / 2
@street_cred = true;
end
end

http://ruby-lang.org

any thoughts? Anything inherantly un-rubyish?

I like the idea of Ruby t-shirts, but your code snipet is rather long for
a t-shirt. It has to be quick and catchy. How about this:

a, b = b, a
Who needs temp variables?

Cheers,
Daniel.

That’s good. I came up with the following:

class Ruby < Scripting_Languages
include Perl
include Python
end

Perl and Python both do this. Python even uses the same syntax.

What can we use that demonstrates something that Ruby’s uniquely
useful for in 4 lines or less?

Gabriele suggested “4.times { puts ‘Ruby rocks!’ }”. I like it.

Hmm, there’s the classic “grep in four lines.” Can’t recall
exactly how it looks – I think it used a perlism that I’m
not used to.

Doesn’t sound that hard. Could someone remind me how to use the File.eachline method? (I
know I’ve gotten it at least partially wrong there).

Or could someone give me a link to PickAxe so I can look it up?

Thanks.

I just thought of a dead give-away:

dcarrera ~ $ cat myfile
cat
dog
horse
zebra
tiger
dcarrera ~ $ grep a myfile
cat
zebra
dcarrera ~ $ ruby -e ‘puts ARGF.grep(/a/)’ myfile
cat

What about

require ‘English’

$DEFAULT_INPUT.each{|x| puts x if x =~ /#{re}/}

??

It’s two lines if you use ‘$<’…

Actually, it’s rot52, but that’s just because I’m working with a
poker game at the moment. If we apply the same naming scheme as
the DES algorithm, it would be 2rot13, IIRC.

I don’t think it matters much, really. Next to the DMCA,
everything else sounds educated.

I’ve always thought that would make an excellent slogan

Ruby - keep your language clean!

If we’re going for unusual ruby features, I think open classes are the
most interesting. “Ruby - open source, open classes!”

Okay, ignore my last question (except the one about a link to PicAxe). I just figured the
syntax (basically by trying every possible permutation).

Now I have a new question: Turning a string into a regex.
Example:

dcarrera ~ $ irb

var = “he”
=> “he”
str = “hello world”
=> “hello world”
str =~ /var/
=> nil

What am I doing wrong?

Quite right.

The part I can’t remember was one of those
“implicit loop” things that I never use…

BTW, var = Regexp.new(Regexp.escape(var)) will
also do that conversion… probably more than
two ways…

As for interpolating a variable into a regex,
I’m not sure whether it does automatic escaping
or not. I’d like to think it does, but there
may be some good reason it doesn’t. Too lazy to
test right now…
