Learning from FP: Simulated Annealing in Haskell and Ruby
summary
Shows a concrete translation of a Simulated Annealing algorithm from Haskell into Ruby, demonstrating how Haskell’s separation of pure algorithms from side effects maps to Ruby code. Includes use of ruby-processing for visualizing the algorithm and uses the comparison to illustrate functional programming ideas that can improve Ruby code.
