Monkey-patching is Part of the DIY Culture

The Great Ruby Shootout
"Ruby 1.9 confirms itself as a fast implementation, about three times the speed of 1.8.6 which is going to replace it in 3 weeks. Ruby 1.9 (Yarv) is still the fastest of the lot in most tests, but others are clearly catching up."
Some useful closures, in Ruby
"The Dylan programming language included four very useful functions built using closures: complement, conjoin, disjoin and compose. The names are a bit obscure, but they can each be written in a few lines of Ruby."
Dynamism, Legacy of the Visigoths
«it is, when you pause to think about it, strange that when a programmer asks you how you are, the proper response is "Dynamic, thanks!" if you are feeling well and "Kinda static today..." if you are ill»
Programming Language Popularity
Gauging programming language popularity using data from Yahoo, Craigslist, Amazon, Freshmeat, Del.icio.us, Lambda the Ultimate, Programming Reddit and Slashdot. Unscientific but fun.
