>Ever worked with numpy, scipy, pandas etc. in Python? It's ALL about what you call "sweeping the details under the carpet", or what is generally called abstraction.

Those are just external libraries written in C/fortran/etc. Not monkeypatching.

I don't applaud ruby dark voodoo tricks, but I think it's the same spirit.
