Ruby just gets better and better to me every day.

If I had to do this in C++ or C#, I wouldn’t know where to start.

Much less do it in 18 lines of code.

    Hi Jeff!

    thanks for the pointer, that's just amazing. The more I learn about Ruby, the more I want to use it, that's like a kind of drug... especially for exactly that kind of things (amazing features, with so many times less lines of code!)

    Yesterday I wrote a small ruby LOC counter only to realise my current .Net project has ~600kloc (sigh!)...

    cheers
