Esoteric, Obfuscated, Artistic Programming in Ruby
summary
Ruby code demonstrates concrete surprises: a spinning-quine called Qlobe that prints and animates an ASCII globe; a Radiation-hardened Quine that survives any single-character deletion using redundancy and custom error-correction and still reproduces its source; a program written with only alphabetical letters that prints “Hello RubyConf”; a 128-language quine relay generating other languages in sequence; a generator that outputs TrueType-backed 3D-printable column models and a self-contained Pachelbel synth that plays via AirPlay — many examples compile and run as shown.
