Are there equivalents to Ruby's method_missing in other languages?

Question

In Ruby, objects have a handy method called method_missing which allows one to handle method calls for methods that have not even been (explicitly) defined:

Answer 1

In Common Lisp, no-applicable-method may be used for this purpose, according to the Common Lisp Hyper Spec:

The generic function no-applicable-method is called when a generic function is invoked and no method on that generic function is applicable. The default method signals an error.

The generic function no-applicable-method is not intended to be called by programmers. Programmers may write methods for it.

So for example:

(defmethod no-applicable-method (gf &rest args)
  ;(error "No applicable method for args:~% ~s~% to ~s" args gf)
  (%error (make-condition 'no-applicable-method :generic-function gf :arguments args) '()
        ;; Go past the anonymous frame to the frame for the caller of the generic function
        (parent-frame (%get-frame-ptr))))
