I believe the underlying behaviour of Ruby blocks is one of those mechanics that isn't talked about that much for newcomers, they just get used to how Ruby code look like when they see Rails, Cucumber or RSpec

Blocks and method_missing is one of those things in Ruby is what makes it so powerful! I remember watching a talk where someone was able to run JS snippets on pure Ruby just by recreating the syntax. That proves how powerful Ruby is for creating your own DSL

It's also a double edged sword and something you have to be careful with on collaborative codebases. Always prefer simplicity and readability over exotic and neat tricks, but I understand the difficulty when you have access to such a powerful tool
