crafterm's weblog

Ruby'isms!

Check this following code, taken from Jim Weirich's OSCON slides about the "10 Things Every Java Programmer Should Know About Ruby".

class VCR  def initialize    @messages = []  end  def method_missing(method, *args, &block)    @messages << [method, args, block]  end  def play_back_to(obj)    @messages.each do |method, args, block|      obj.send(method, *args, &block)    end  endend

Nice stuff, it records all of the messages sent to an object, and can then replay them back on any other object. :)

Also, while on the subject of Ruby - there's a really interesting video available at the Rails website, that demonstrates the creation of a weblog in 15 minutes, show how some tricky code generation and dynamic site reloading works together to build a website very quickly. Very interesting stuff.
