08:03:18 <foucist> someone mentioned that in forth, you can do something like 'x g f' where g acts on x, then f acts on the result
08:03:31 <foucist> and that most programming langs can't/don't do that
08:03:41 <foucist> but that's what i like about ruby's chaining
08:03:43 <foucist> i do x.g.f
08:03:48 <foucist> ruby's OO chaining
11:47:43 <crc> nice
15:31:16 <erider> ruby is nice because you can use it from the commandline like perl (oneliners) :) 
17:49:22 <crc> erider: I could build a VM for Retro for that purpose if I needed to :)
17:52:02 <erider> cool beans 
18:06:25 <foucist> crc: http://www.slideshare.net/tenderlove/worst-ideas-ever
18:16:18 <crc> ?
18:18:16 <crc> erider: actually, with the vm in the fossil repo, only the image needs minor tweaks to run scripts. (basically define #! and maybe alter the 'ok' prompt)
