I was sold by Ruby
by ngoc » Sat, 29 Oct 2005 05:02:08 GMT
Something to share with you (ladys and guys). My boss want me to compare
data from two sources for oil busisness. As our routine, I write it in
perl. But the output is wrong. So I think it must be wrong with logic or
bug in perl. I convinced my boss to write the same program in Ruby(He
really do not like to try new thing). The output is still wrong (same as
perl output). So there is not perl bug, but my logic is wrong. Later, I
found out what is wrong in my logic. And what I recognise my Ruby
program is much shorter and beautier than my perl program. A further
analysis, I see Ruby's beauty is its object oriented design. So I was
sold to Ruby. Good Work ladys and guys!

Hey, that's great. May your enjoyment continue.
Today I clipped one of my toenails and it sailed across the room and
landed perfectly in a cup up on top of a bookcase. It made me happy
just like you are happy. Sounds like lots of great things are happening
everywhere.

Selon why the lucky stiff :
ngoc, don't take it personally, _why is always like that ;) .
However the comparison isn't that bad. When I first came across Ruby, it
was as if everything went suddenly into place perfectly. I thought to
myself: "of course! *that's* how it should be!". Since then learning
Ruby has been more like discovering how my brains natively work rather
than learning a separate language. It can make so much sense it's freaky!
Could it be that matz is actually channeling us all at the same time? Or
maybe *we* are channeling him all at the same time ;) ...

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.

read "babel-17", one of matz' favourites, IIRC.

Selon Stefan Schmiedl < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >:
You'd think that as a conlanger I would have already read it ;) . But strangely
enough I didn't know it existed. Thanks for the advice though, I'll surely try
and find it (don't tell me "Amazon", I can't pay by Internet, but I have a
bookstore in the neighbourhood that has to have it).

Great stuff! What about your boss - was he sold, too?
Cheers
