Ruby::Box is an experimental feature that enables code reloading through isolated namespaces instead of constant tracking. Unlike existing solutions like Zeitwerk or rack-unreloader that fight Ruby's global object space, Ruby::Box loads code in isolation, uses it, and discards it afterwards. A proof-of-concept implementation (rackup-box) demonstrates automatic reloading of Rack apps on each request without server restarts. Current limitations include lack of RubyGems support, memory leaks, and occasional segfaults, but the approach shows promise for transforming Ruby development workflows once the implementation matures.
