Original Post: PLEAC -- Ruby version still growing (slowly)

Progress is slowly creeping forward on the Ruby version of PLEAC (Programming Languages Alike
Cookbook), which is an attempt to represent the recipes in the Perl
Cookbook in a variety of languages. I’ve been aware of the project
for a couple of years, but only got around to joining the mailing list a
few weeks ago.
I’ve submitted some 20+ Ruby sections in the last couple of weeks,
trying to top off a few early chapters to the 100% mark. Currently,
chapters 1,2,3,4,9, and 10 are done. Chapter 5 is missing an ordered hash
recipe (should be coming soon). Chapter 6 (patterns) is just over 81% now,
and chapter 7 should be close to 60% once a few recent submissions are
accepted and committed. Chapter 8 sits at 33% at the moment. The first half
(chapters 1-10) of the Ruby version could be brought to 100% in a
relatively short time (though a few longish programs are still needed).
There are also significant inroads in many of the chapters in the second
half (chapters 11-20). It might be a nice boon for Ruby to become the first
language to achieve a 100% complete PLEAC (at the moment Ruby sits at
58.71% of completion, behind only Python’s 59.14%) hinthint :-)
