To provide that level of abstraction and elegant syntax, rails rely a lot on metaprogramming, so we can write less and achieve more on our codebase. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
Imagine a scenario where a user clicks on a link or button on the Rails website. This simple action initiates a web request from the user's browser, which then travels through the vast universe of inter-webs galaxies to land on the planet web server that hosts "Rails".
