Can We Still Innovate?
summary
Shows exactly what was built and why it changed Ruby code: ROM (2014 release) is a persistence toolkit that separates reads from writes, makes relations first‑class, avoids mutable domain objects and global state, and adds repositories, change sets and aggregates that actually work in production; dry‑rb (started 2015, 20+ gems) supplies dry‑struct, dry‑validation and dry‑system for strict types, data‑centric validation and component booting/DI; demos include migrations, structs, validation schemas and container boot examples.
