Julio, my man, you have just inspired me to learn Perl. That is awesome.
I personally love the Hash syntax.
{
'start' => 'end'
}.each{|target, destination| `ln -s #{target} #{destination}` }
{
Klass => :method
}.collect{|k,m| k.send(m) }
It's just a beautiful way of signifying all sorts of things. Though Obie beat
me to it <http://www.hashrocket.com/>. Similarly, I also like how Ruby only
has two standard implementations of collections, not
11<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Collection.html>
.
