More information on Ruby and functional programming?

[Dan Kubb (dkubb)]

I just wanted to share my favorite post on this subject:

http://www.harukizaemon.com/2010/03/functional-programming-in-object-oriented-languages.html

This design greatly influenced my own work on Veritas (http://
github.com/dkubb/veritas) which I'll post more about later on.

Are there other good sources of information or libraries out in the
wild on the subject?

I know next to nothing about its current status or feature-set, but I just stumbled upon this functional data-structures library: https://github.com/harukizaemon/hamster

The context was this post by the author, which is potentially interesting for this list: http://www.harukizaemon.com/2009/12/why-object-oriented-language-need-tail-calls.html

Here are my notes from a lightning talk I did at this year's SCNA
related to bootstrapping an object system in Ruby using closures.

Pretty basic stuff for the FP crowd, but maybe of interest to some :)

Here's a good series of (old!) blog posts about implementing monadic
patterns in Ruby: http://moonbase.rydia.net/mental/writings/programming/monads-in-ruby/00introduction.html

I'll dig around through my bookmarks for more :)
