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.
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.
