Usage of Scala at Twitter

Here is a nice presentation about the use of the Scala language at Twitter:  

Besides the counless features of Scala (type interfence, Traits, Pattern Matching, ...), I found the reasons interessing the speaker gave against Ruby (Twitter was once a major landmark project for Ruby and Rails) : "Ruby's poor VM performance, monkeypatching and cultural issues, questionable for large systems". I found Monkeypatching terrible. Is there an equivalent to Liskovs principle for monkeypatching?
