I've been fascinated with languages like Ruby and Groovy ever since being exposed to their dynamic capabilities. I remember attending a No Fluff Just Stuff conference a few years ago and being awestruck while watching Dave Thomas build a full-blown Rails application within a matter of minutes. Dynamic languages give programmers the ability to write powerful and flexible code that is both readable and concise. But what is it that gives these languages such great power? The secret is their metaprogramming capabilities.
