I personally have come to love my new shoes, uniq! for those that don't know, if removes all the duplicates in the array. took me awhile to find that one. I mean, i knew ruby could do it, I just couldn't find out what it was named... great article.

Thanks for mentioning it... I was not aware of its existence @Taylor,

I feel ashamed to learn these new functions after almost a year of developing in Ruby... Because each is like the first thing we learn when we begin Ruby, we think that it’s the only one of its kind.

The iterators in the base classes are implemented directly in C for the most part, and thus should eliminate a lot of the overhead and garbage collection that slow down using pure Ruby solutions based on each.
