These days (years) I work mostly in Java and would love to have method_missing or define_method. Of course I can do everything I want without them, but it's not fun.

Groovy has monkey patching and methodMissing (and propertyMissing) but runtime lookups make them slower than dispatch to classloader-defined methods.

Kotlin would be a good Java-compatible alternative with its extension functions.
