Summary
In this RubyFringe talk, Reginald Braithwaite shows how to write Ruby that reads, writes, and rewrites Ruby. The demos include extending the Ruby language with conditional expressions, new forms of evaluation such as call-by-name and call-by-need, and more.

Shortly after that he became Program Manager for the suite of JProbe tools and then Development Manager. He is a speaker at conferences like RubyFringe and MeshU. He is author of the Invocation Construction Kit and Rewrite for Ruby.
