Ruby Beauty – Iteration with an Index

I just love how expressive and clean Ruby’s syntax is. How often do you need to iterate over a collection and get a count as well? That sort of code is ugly in something like C#, but in Ruby:

people = %w{Dave Bill Mike Mark John} # Simple collection of names
people.each_with_index { |name, index| puts "#{index}: #{name}" }

And that displays:

0: Dave
1: Bill
2: Mike
3: Mark
4: John

each_with_index - simple and elegant.

And what’s the C# version of something like this look like? Blah :)
