Hi,

There is a nice article on wikipedia that will give you a quick glance into

Personally, I would name Eval, Object runtime alteration, and Reflection as
the most important features, though there are much more opinions (sometimes
very contradictive ;-) regarding this matter.

What makes Ruby dynamic and what are those features?<br>
