How the Ruby Interpreter Creates Methods on the Fly – Grinding Gears

I was lucky enough to attend last year’s EuRuKo, the travelling European Ruby conference. A theme of the conference (for me) was Ruby’s infamous embrace of metaprogramming, which I’ve had little exposure to in my day-to-day as a Rails dev.The approach to this discussion was inspired by this great talk by Masafumi Okura on Code Reading, and much of the detail comes from the book Ruby under a Microscope by Pat Shaughnessy, which was recommended to me over coffee between talks.
