Forgoing Implicity and Using Abstractions: Clips
Is it possible: yes.
Can you write your own home-grown rules engine in Ruby: yes.
Can you use off-the-shelf gems: yes. Here's a few I poked around in my previous explorations into Ruby Rules Engines:
* durable rules - https://github.com/jruizgit/rules?tab=readme-ov-file#ruby
* wongi - https://github.com/ulfurinn/wongi-engine
* rules - https://github.com/azach/rules
