Ruby people discovering algorithms ducks

Really. Every time I whine publicly how web programming people aren't familiar with even basic CS, I get a slap.

But really, I should move to web programming. I'll be an expert computer scientist there, probably.

It's important not to skip step 2, though. Give everything a nice once-over for writing documentation and considering changes to API and algorithm.
