Here is a perfect example of how I keep learning how to make my Ruby code simpler over time. I just found out that I can use
filetext = File.read("filename")
instead of
file = File.open("filename")
filetext = file.read
file.close
I'm not pointing this out as a criticism. Ruby clearly aims for the greatest simplicity while still retaining power. This is exactly what I want in a language. I just keep realizing that I need to read the library docs every chance I get.
