You'll have to live with the constraints of the Ruby language,
certainly, but there are several examples. RHDL is an example of a
high level definition language for circuits; rake and rant implement
make-like semantics (almost another language) in Ruby. My own
PDF::Writer includes a print-oriented language for creating brochures
and quick reference sheets.
