I have an old issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal (August 1997), that has an
article entitled: "Dynamic Design Patterns in Objective-C: Dynamic run
times affect how programs are designed and built". While the article
focuses mainly on Objective-C and gives some examples from the
NeXTStep Runtime (today in use as Mac OS X's Cocoa), the dynamic
runtime of Objective-C is sufficiently similar to Ruby's that many of
the same principles apply.  Apparently, the full text of the article
is available here:
