Jeremy Evans is not in the wrong part of town.

  It's like a professional wandered into amateur hour.

  That's fair, and I removed that comment for seeming snarky or directed at the author--it wasn't. My meaning was, like strong typing, it is an idea from a different context that works well there, but may not translate well to the Ruby world given expectations and usage patterns.

    Efforts to freeze more and more objects and classes after initial setup have been a long-standing trend in the Ruby world.

  Jeremy Evans is definitely not in the wrong part of town. I use his Sequel gem in production and it is perhaps the best piece of software ever written for ruby. Studying how it is implemented is a textbook example of how to develop complex ruby DSLs really well without getting too deep in the metaprogramming muck.
