Description
You don't know truly weird Ruby yet, do you?
TRICK is an irregularly held Ruby programming contest that celebrates the most creative and weird Ruby programs. Among the many submissions, about a dozen particularly exceptional entries are awarded.
In this talk, we will showcase the winning entries from past TRICK contest and our own weird Ruby code. We will explore various techniques for writing such programs. By the end of this talk, you'll be ready to submit your original Ruby creations to TRICK 2025!
