So far, I've managed to duplicate the functionality of two Java codes having 834 and 1084 lines of codes with 24 and 55 lines of Ruby, respectively. The second one is so long[1] due to the lack of ordered Hashes (and my lack of Ruby mastery). FWIW, the Ruby versions are more robust and general than the Java versions due to the mini DSL I wrote for expressing tolerances in a natural way. Thanks again for Ruby!
