Programming With Nothing // Speaker Deck
november 2011 by awstewart
Mind expanding.
We love Ruby for being powerful & expressive, but how much power does Ruby have if you remove all of its datatypes except for Proc and all of its features except for Proc.new and Proc#call?

september 2011 by awstewart
Ruby enumerables are not lazy, so here's an implementation of map_detect: like map but returns only the first non-nil block value.

Skinny daemons
august 2010 by awstewart
A daemonized Ruby process running inside a thin webserver.
The basic idea here is to use the thin webserver as a container for whatever app or service you want to run inside it. The whole thing can then be packaged as a rubygem, and you end up with an easily installable service which can be used by any programmer who can send an HTTP request – not just Rubyists.
