I've recently been playing with functional languages such as Scheme and Haskell just for fun, and realized that there's a lot of functional support built into Ruby, both in the literal sense of creating lambdas and in the functionally inspired Enumerable methods such as map, select, and inject.
1) Did everybody but me know about map, select, and inject? I've only just discovered them through analogy to similar features in functional languages and think they're great. 2) Would there be interest in a presentation about functional programming in Ruby?
