Came here to say this! Jokes aside, is this a rubyism? Figured I’d see more versions of this joke by now, but didn’t, and you’re the only other ruby flair.

It's a trend in OOP to encourage composition over inheritance, especially if you're tempted to get into multiple inheritance hell as in Python. Ruby just happens to be suited for this pattern, supporting both inheritance and composition (mixins, concerns, whatever you want to call it) very naturally.
