Ruby Poetry
- kijin 15y agoClicked expecting a poem that is also valid Ruby, like what people used to do with Perl. Was somewhat disappointed, but LOL'd at the Eurozone Bailout poem.
- draegtun 15y agoBit like Black Perl written (supposedly!) by Larry Wall - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Perl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Perl Perlmonks has a list of Perl Poetry (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Perl%20Poetry http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Perl%20Poetry). Also on Perlmonks there is a perl5 update of Black Perl (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=237465 http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=237465)

- abecedarius 15y agoNice little hack. My favorite find of that sort came from a verse-finder in Python run over the text of The Lord of the Rings -- it was looking for scansion, not rhyme -- i.e., blank verse like Paradise Lost: One turned to stone. A brief vision he had Of swirling cloud, and in the midst of it Towers and battlements, tall as hills, Founded upon a mighty mountain-throne Above immeasurable pits; great courts And dungeons, eyeless prisons sheer as cliffs, And gaping gates of steel and adamant: And then all passed. I suppose it's not a coincidence the longest passage the program found came at the climactic moment of the story.
- pathdependent 15y agoThis is off topic, but the code highlighting with slight background noise seems like a good idea in general. Has anyone tried this in their editor of choice?
