summary
Argues that Ruby can reclaim its playful era by using Generative AI and shows a working prototype called Monkeys Paw, a prompt based web framework that sends markdown pages to an LLM and returns hallucinated site content and JavaScript. Claims DSLs map naturally to prompts, demonstrates live-generated slides and layouts, and reports a New York meetup drawing 50+ attendees. Built tools and libraries exist, the presentation generation actually works but output varies with model versions and prompt specificity.
