I came across this site: [http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com/2008/04/ruby-golf-ascii-sierpinski-triangle.html](http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com/2008/04/ruby-golf-ascii-sierpinski-triangle.html) And it got me thinking. Is there a site somewhere dedicated solely to ridiculously cool ruby snippets? Also, it would be nice if they explained it 🙂 I’m not talking about useful snippets, or important snippets, I’m talking about purely “cool” or purely “beautiful” or whatever snippets. I came across another site where somebody wrote a boggle solver in Ruby and five lines of code. I thought that was pretty cool too. ---

Dunno about that, but really, that snippet he posted is an easy one to expand to understand 🙂 The ruby quiz site has lots of cool little snippets in the way of answers to problems, and this list itself has alot of cool snippets. Maybe make a site on your own? –Kyle ---
