Ruby is not a meta language - Ruby is a normal programming language as 
others, too.  But it has extended meta programming capabilities.  I 
guess that is what you are referring to.

Search for "DSL" (domain specific languages).  There are quite a few 
discussions of that topic in the archives of ruby-talk.
