Rouwam: An Ambitious Project (rubyforge.org)
3 points by binomial on Oct 1, 2010 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments



If I understand correctly, Ruby our universe with algo's and math's (Rouwam) tries to bundle all algorithms obtained from Wikipedia as a Ruby package.

I'm unsure about the handiness of that, given that I usually do not struggle do find a working implementation of an algorithm (think Rosettacode http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Main_Page) but rather which algorithm I actually want to use. I appreciate Python's standard library largely hiding the implementation details from me but rather concentrating on use cases.

Edited to clarify: the list of algorithms is fetched from Wikipedia. I think he wants to publish his algorithms in Wikipedia, not sure abut that though.


"RubyForge Could Not Connect to Database:"

Too ambitious, perhaps?
