This is the talk that I just gave at the LA Ruby Meetup, minutes ago.
It was on the Watts not-framework.  Watts can be found at
http://github.com/pete/watts , which has documentation and examples.
The "slide deck" is the text file below, which was run through a small
Ruby script that recognized "-- $header" as delimiters.

Enjoy.

Update 2013-01-28:  There was a bug in Watts, and in this presentation,
specifically that unknown methods ought to be responded to with a "501 Not

I turned this gist into a "real" repository.  It is here:  http://github.com/pete/cats .


Here, placed side-by-side for comparison, are GNU's implementation of
cat, Plan 9's implementation, Busybox's implementation, and NetBSD's
implementation, Seventh Edition Unix (1979), and 4.3BSD.

For good measure (and because I suppose I am now committed to collecting
cats) also included are Second Edition Unix (in assembly) and Inferno's
implementation (in Limbo) for good measure.
