Just FYI why i lold at this beeing a fitting example:

  File.read("in.txt").split("\n").sort.map(&:trim).uniq

No need for X temporary variables and N lines of code in ruby.

Also notice the better readability as everything happens from left to right?

Indeed, Ruby is a beautiful language, but so ridiculously slow.

While i would say thats a non issue in webdevelopment and scripting, i agree that compared to others its just slow
