    I think what parent said is referring to stuff like

    https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on

    It's not only that RoR comes with a complete toolset -- it allows you to create your own libraries that extend the capabilities of the framework while keeping the developer experience terse enough through metaprogramming (compare the sample code in the README with the file acts-as-taggable-on/lib/acts-as-taggable-on/taggable.rb, where you can see how the library is opening the classes in runtime through the class_eval technique.

    Not sure how something similar can be achieved in C#
