A few promising Ruby libraries

Adam Keys Code, Curated March 17, 2009 0 Minutes

From the hall of promising Ruby libraries: an FFI binding to Lua, Ruby to Lua, a neat framework for building Twitter bots, TwiBot and some sugar over the Cascading library (which is sugar over Hadoop) for processing large data sets, cascading.jruby

    I think with my mouth. Often that means I start talking with some idea, realize that the idea isn’t as hefty as I originally thought, and end up talking until I reach a moment of mild truth. Which often ends up being a platitude. Shutting up: it’s a thing I’m working on.

  • Pardon the dust, learning in progress
    I’m trying a few things while I learn how ray-tracers work: learning Rust and graphics programming collecting my thoughts and discoveries in the repo, aka blogging doing it all in public, rather than a private repo tackling very math-y programming and domain problems, despite my lack of acumen in the area Brought to you by: more folks should do blogging-like […]

    It’s true that Twitter took some air out of blogging. I suspect it’s also true that they formed a positive feedback loop when they overlapped. Longer-form writing informed tweets, tweets responded to or inspired longer-form writing. We can have our tweets and eat blogs too!
