Ok, i've finally found the equivalent of while (<>) construct in Ruby,
so the initialisation of the hash is now more concise. By using 'for'
instead of iterators, the code is more Ada-ish :

for a_file in ARGF do
  for a_line in a_file do
    for a_word in a_line.split(/[^A-Za-z]+/) do
        count[a_word.downcase] += 1
    end # for a_word 
  end # for a_line
end # for a_file
