If I understood your cryptic message and shortcuts (any1, cud). You are asking for a good debugger on Windows for Ruby. Then I would say it is Netbeans in the downloads section you can just get the Ruby components. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message b

I've read the book programming Ruby (pragmatic) and felt Ok. But when I started coding, I still keep thinking in for loops instead of blocks and closures. I felt pretty frustated, that now I am going to stick to Java for the rest of competition. Ruby later On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 7:24 AM, Selasie A

Even then I think you would not want to parse input using C++, you'd rather use Python's regex for that task On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 2:21 PM, Bartholomew Furrow wrote: > I think is best to use the language you are most comfortable with, usually >> how good the algorithm is more important than how

I think is best to use the language you are most comfortable with, usually how good the algorithm is more important than how fast the language is. Carlos Guía On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 11:11 AM, malugu satyajit wrote: > I was of the same opinion and tried to program in Java. But you know I was > fi

I was of the same opinion and tried to program in Java. But you know I was fighting the language instead of language helping me. Well let me try today. I hope to qualify to think about future options. On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 2:14 AM, Hawston LLH wrote: > in fact, i dont think the raw coding speed

in fact, i dont think the raw coding speed will be significantly different, if you use any of the high level languages. The key issue is whether u can figure it out how to solve the problem in your brain first, i think that will take much of the coding time, than the raw typing time. On Wed, Sep 2
