I learned C by going through the FreeBSD code and helping with POSIX compliance. For fun I would implement a lot of the commands in Python. You get the most out of learning both the language and UNIX by implementing all the command line options.
For a purely functional language like Haskell, this would not be a very good advice. Any kind of I/O would involve monads and other imperative constructs. Better implement an algorithm involving trees or graphs to better appreciate a functional language.
Your ruby version of cat implements none of the command line switches. I learned C by going through the FreeBSD code and helping with POSIX compliance.

I'll also be writing some other utilities! :)

Heh. I've been doing something similar. In my free time, I've been actually re-implementing the `tree` command (with most of the switches as well) in Python. I'll also be writing some other utilities! :)
