Seems funny talking about complexity from a Rails perspective. The most interactive codebase I've ever encountered was in Ruby/Rails with no static type information, gems that magically work, and application-specific DSLs that can only make sense if you were there like a punchline to an 'in' joke. I don't even think it was unusual--just happened to be at a company that lasted long enough for the amount of cruft and action-at-a-distance to accumulate and not long enough to grow out of it and write more scalably.
