Metaprogramming in Ruby

I just stumbled upon this one and I think it’s a superb example of how metaprogramming works: http://gregosuri.com/powerful-twitter-api-wrapper-in-less-than-50. If you understand it, you can show off in the comment section here :mrgreen:

What else? Hmm, as I already mentioned, I’m trying to work my way through the programming I’ve got to do before being able to write my thesis on that software. Even though it’s frustrating from time to time because Ruby on Rails is always-evolving and many features needed for your application which you spent hours or even days on implementing tend to pop up as a new feature in the next Rails release, it’s also fun and interesting to play with that new feel programming. Completely different approaches, more focus on the actual application and not on the tools and frameworks you need for it etc. *sigh* Wish I would’ve started with that a lot earlier 😉
