Ruby Metaprogramming

Guide to Ruby metaprogramming techniques, DSL creation, and dynamic code generation.

When to Use Metaprogramming

Use metaprogramming when:

• Building DSLs for configuration or testing
• Reducing repetitive code patterns
• Creating flexible APIs
• Implementing frameworks

Avoid when:

• Simple methods would suffice
• Code clarity is more important than conciseness
• Debugging would become difficult
