Woah, this thread escalated quickly.
you monkeypatch over core methods like that they put you in jail right away no trial, no nothing. Metaprogrammers... we have a special jail for metaprogrammers. You're global variabling? Right to jail. You're using for loops instead of iterators? To jail right away. You're type checking by class... Jail. Abusing eval? Jail. You're using global variables like a drunken sailor? You right to Jail. You overuse class variables Jail. You underuse class variables believe it or not jail. You use too many tests also Jail, overuse underuse. You use define method and you could have created the methods explicitly? Believe it or not, jail right away. We have the best code monkeys in the world because of jail.
