Extension Methods
Posted On Sunday, November 14, 2010 at at 5:06 AM by LokeshI was working on a Ruby on Rails project. I was partly influenced by the syntactic sugars.
Here is the extension method in C# for Ruby times
1: using System;
2: 3: namespace ConsoleApplication1
4: {5: class Program
6: {7: static void Main(string[] args)
8: { 9: 5.Times(DoSomething); 10: } 11: 12: private static void DoSomething(int x)
13: {14: // Do something with x
15: } 16: } 17: 18: internal static class Extensions
19: {20: public static void Times(this int times, Action<int> action)
21: {22: for (var i = 0; i < times; i++)
23: action(i); 24: } 25: } 26: }Program Verification And Automated Theorem Proving

Ruby on Rails
Posted On Sunday, September 13, 2009 at at 12:52 AM by LokeshRecently I was working on a XML feed generation task in a RoR project. I did a cursory performance analysis recording file size against time. The interesting thing was the time taken to generate file increased exponentially with increasing file size. So I decided to compare ruby's performance against Lava, C, C++, Scala and Javascript. I have tabulated the results of the benchmark tests from http://shootout.alioth.debian.org.
The results were surprising though hardly any N Body solutions would be implemented with Ruby in reality (included just for visualising performance @ heavy computation load).
I realized that RoR is ideal for projects that don't have computation heavy / memory intensive operations in backend. Or even, we can build such backend systems in other languages that are cpu & memory efficient and have frontend built with RoR. We shouldn't be expecting RoR to do that.
I am not undermining RoR but I think we should contemplate on nature of the system that we will be building.
