Ruby's functional programming features shine when building AI pipelines. Procs, lambdas, and closures let you encapsulate behavior, while Enumerable methods transform data with elegance. This article, part of the Ruby for AI series, shows how these patterns solve real problems in machine learning workflows. Understanding Procs and Lambdas Both Procs and lambdas are blocks of code you can store in variables and pass around. The differences matter for AI pipelines where data integrity
