I think he was actually pointing out a difference in approaches. OpenBSD tend to take the conservative line, the Ruby crowd seem to take the front-door open with Yaml parsers blazing ready to run arbitrary code line. I am sure it is possible to write conservative, stable, secure frameworks and tools in Ruby, but it is rather telling that we don't.
