Looks like AOP-style feature. AOP is definitely powerful though there
was a debate
<http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=3D30154>on its
potential of being dangerous. Even strong-type language Java has several AO=
P
implementations, some of which modify byte-codes on the fly (poor java guys
don't have open class). Not to mention the usage in Rails (ex.
before_filter, acts_as_*).

I feel that Ruby is more implicit than Python in style, which is actually
similar to our natural languages, though we may sometimes misunderstand eac=
h
others.
