morning all
<rapha>
is there a nice, non-loop-using way of finding the n'th occurance of value x in a given array?

oh. okay, not the immigration authority of canada, the obfuscated ruby contest.

<leftylink>
but wait! if they're all the value x, what does it matter which occurrence of them is found! there must be another aspect to the question I have missed

It will be interesting to see what happens with it

Love it, fantastic.

legit: i believe that to be true, re python grown and ruby decline, but i don't think it's the end.

<rapha>
ruby has been called dead so many times...
<rapha>
yet there will always be tasks for which you'd always rather use ruby than python
<rapha>
havenwood: pycall is amazing! much more fun to use than what i had imagined!
<ccooke>
Languages live or die on niches and use cases. Right now, Python has a few that are propelling adoption. Ruby doesn't have any big ...slices of the zeitgeist (for want of a better idiom) at the moment, but it's still big enough a language to survive for a long time yet
<rapha>
a lot of the non-western-scripts work i do would be so much more cumbersome in python
<rapha>
but none of the microcontrollers-and-numerical-data stuff i like to do in my free time would be much fun in ruby
<rapha>
so the more these two languages can interact with each other, the better for everybody
<rapha>
havenwood: how do you turn a python list that you got via pycall into a proper ruby array?
<rapha>
hmm, .to_a should work but doesn't. weird.
fef has joined #ruby
<rapha>
funky. they also have convert_to_array. but it errors out.
<Al2O3>
so, I am reading and studying Ruby right now, reading many books, many online tutorials and of course good advice from them all (and some opinions as well, or both). Here is one I would like to follow, and ask this community for examples to DL and look/assess.
<Al2O3>
"Here’s something to do the next time you have a rainy afternoon to kill: Download
<Al2O3>
two or three significant Ruby programs, maybe utilities that you use every day or
<Al2O3>
like."
<Al2O3>
applications you have heard of or perhaps projects whose names you just happen to

since I don't like per se, I'm learning (again) Ruby after 17 years of absence, what would be two good programs or utilities to DL and look at.
<Al2O3>
they should likely be small, compact, good utilities that one uses every day and of course well written, and of course available to view source.
<weaksauce>
Al2O3 how familiar are you with ruby?
<weaksauce>
rails actually has an interesting guide on the initialization of it if you are somewhat familiar with that
<weaksauce>
but it's probably out of your depth right now
