Finally had the chance to rewrite "highcal" in C. It's a little program that prints calendars, much like cal(1), but uses more colors and can highlight dates fed to it via stdin. highcal used to be part of gitodo: gitodo and highcal were Ruby scripts. Ruby was an experiment at the end of 2012. The language looked nice, but I have not gotten used to it. gitodo itself has already been replaced by the much simpler "be": So, no more Ruby for me. Phew.
