There's a saying that Ruby gives "Every toddler a chainsaw" (https://codefol.io/posts/ruby-python-and-freedom/). You can use it and it's metaprogramming to write some really elegant APIs. You can also write entirely the wrong abstractions, and it will not stop you. You can even extract private variables from lambdas if you're willing.

Now, imagine that in the hands of someone with poor taste, or, even, just rather different taste than yours.
