[QUOTE="Phil Tomson, post: 4524412"] While Ruby's metaprogramming facilities are indeed powerful, they still don't allow you to change the syntax of the language as Lisp macros allow. So, for example, if I wanted to define a new operator := for assignment semantics I can't do that with metaprogramming, but if Ruby had Lisp-like macros it would be possible. Phil [/QUOTE]
