What if Shakespeare Wrote Ruby?
summary
Argues that Shakespeare creates meaning without stage directions, noting 1700 new word forms across 800,000 words and effectively no documentation, then maps those techniques to code: using iambic pentameter cues as an example of encoding intent, metaphors as interfaces, and layered composition as harmony. Demonstrations use audience actors, translated captions, and a ball-passing exercise to show simplified communication; the hands‑on experiments produce clear, playful results and a workable pattern for clearer code.
