Not Ruby--but pretty all of the code I've seen from Charles H. Moore, the "inventor" of Forth. His code tows that fragile line between self-documentation and brevity. It inspires me, giving me firm reminder that computer code can be Art as much as Science.

Your comment made me curious. Do you have any examples you could link to that you think are good?

Off the cuff, some public examples of his more recent code are contained in ArrayForth, the development environment for the GreenArrays GA144 chip and itself a direct descendant of the original standalone colorForth for PCs: http://www.greenarraychips.com/
