My memory matches yours. Thanks to things like monkey patching you had the problem where changing the order of imports would break other code. And if a dependency of yours added a new import, your code would randomly break for no apparent reason. As a result I saw more than one organization say, "No new projects in Ruby." I'm sure that there were many different experiences in many different organizations. And I have no idea how widespread my impression is. But it certainly discouraged some people from using Ruby.
