I don't really know if I would agree on saying that RoR failed, from recent my experiences, it's still a sought after tool for startups. I do share your opinion on the untyped part, it's a bit of a bummer but there are gems to Ruby that helps with that. Regarding the monkey patches, it's a concern many have and because of that, there is now a cleaner way of doing it! It's called a refinement. It's like monkey patching but in a more controlled way where you don't affect the global namespace. https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/syntax/refinements_rdoc.html https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/syntax/refinements_rdoc...
