That's not true at all. Most of it is due to metaprogramming, which is
a very different thing than dynamically generating source code as text
-- in fact, the point of Ruby's metaprogramming is that you *don't* have
to dynamically generate source code to have dynamic behavior. Please
get your facts straight.

(There are a few spots deep in the Rails framework where source code is
generated as strings, presumably for efficiency reasons. I regard these
as either errors or performance hacks, and I would never attempt to do
likewise in my own application code.)

That's not an "or" question, is it? Or am I still not understanding
what you mean?
