Simple Elixir module:

defmodule Generic do
  def say(message) do
    IO.puts message
  end
end

The AST for the this looks like:

iex(1)> quote do: (defmodule Generic, do: (def say(message), do: IO.puts message))
{:defmodule, [context: Elixir, import: Kernel],
 [{:__aliases__, [alias: false], [:Generic]},
  [do: {:def, [context: Elixir, import: Kernel],
    [{:say, [context: Elixir], [{:message, [], Elixir}]},
     [do: {{:., [], [{:__aliases__, [alias: false], [:IO]}, :puts]}, [],
       [{:message, [], Elixir}]}]]}]]}

The Ruby equivalent:

class Generic
  def say(message)
    puts message
  end
end
