The side bar has these links: C++ Version Java Version C# Version Python Version So it also offers a possibly interesting means to compare some language features. The code for the Ruby version is definitely Ruby, and you can download it. It contains 280 files. Running wc against the files: lines=7731 words=23259 characters=174427 about 1/2 the lines are a header comment in the smaller programs, so actualy numbers are probabably a little bit over half the above numbers. It general, it looks like there are a lot of different algorthims implemented- merges, sorts, graphs, stacks, queues, lists, etc. Overall, it looks very cool. I look forward to looking at it in more detail.
