[...] Meta-Magic in Rails: Become a Master Magician Dr. Nic put on a great show explaining Ruby meta-programming, stressing that introspection is the ability to look at your own code, while reflection is the ability to change your on code dynamically. He also compared Perl to a puppy (fun, but with no understanding of itself), Java to Keith Richards (not so cute anymore) and Rails to Neo (knows about and can change his environment). Finally, the good doctor demonstrated a quite useless, though fun, plugin he had created written by Chris Shea; guessmethod, which attempts to catch and correct misspelled contant and method names dynamically.
