i hope not :-)
i like comparing what different languages offer to solve problems.

that does not handle stdin.
you want something like:
STDIN.each {
|line|
puts URI.unescape(line)
}
note that i can't figure out why the {} have to be places like they are.
{} encloses a block of code, i get that, but why is the { required to be
on the same line?
if i don't put it there, i get a syntax error at the l in line:
./urldecode.ry:6: syntax error
|line|
^
|line| seems to be a way to pass a value into a block of code.
seems a strange way to avoid making the block a real lambda with function
arguments.
