Did not plan it as such, but trying to convert Perl one-liners to Ruby one-liners led to learning Ruby more than I expected. I tried my hand at translating "Think Python" to "Think Ruby" and by November, I even published a book on Ruby regular expressions.
For next year, I hope to continue learning various tools for text processing
- lizmat 8y agoAh, another translation of "Think Python"! Laurent Rosenfeld originally wanted to translate "Think Python" to French, but then decided to translate it to Perl 6: Think Perl 6 (https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-perl-6/ https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-perl-6/). Which in turn got translated to Spanish by Luis F. Uceta: Piensa en Perl 6 (https://uzluisf.gitlab.io/piensaperl6/ https://uzluisf.gitlab.io/piensaperl6/). Where will it stop? :-)
- asicsp 8y agothat's because Think Python is simply too awesome ;) I did about 60-70% before stopping mine though, hopefully will finish next year or ask for ruby community to pitch in.
