Ruby supports a lot of metaprogramming, and some libraries and frameworks take advantage of that. It's not the best counter example to Lisp/Smalltalk.

- fiddlerwoaroof 8y agoMy point is that a fairly popular platform that large teams use has nearly as much metaprogramming in its widely used libraries as any Lisp or Smalltalk codebase I’ve seen. So, I don’t think that the tendency of Lisp programs to evolve DSLs is incompatible with large teams.
