While I never finished it, my "CappRuby" prototype supported method_missing since it compiled to use the Objective-J runtime. https://github.com/tlrobinson/cappruby
Javascript Harmony (ES6) Proxies will allow to define getter catchall and other kinds of traps.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Referenc...
Minor FYI: for this who want to play with Proxies right now, you can use a recent-ish copy of node invoked with
node --harmony_proxies
Enjoy!
Actually, V8 implements an older version of the spec. You can get a polyfill created by the designer of the Proxy spec here: https://github.com/tvcutsem/harmony-reflect
It requires `node --harmony` (actually only Harmony Proxies and Harmony WeakMaps, but the rest doesn't hurt.)

Opal does support method_missing, it's just off by default, i.e. opt-in.

Unfortunately, none of them seem to be to handle the mor dynamic features of ruby, like method_missing, which diminishes the possibility of reusing existing ruby code in the browser.
