Nothing prevents you from writing one function in a file, requiring that file and calling that function. Not sure what's so hard about it.

If you write Ruby from scratch, sure. If you work in Rails you have to work around everything being autoloaded on boot.

Best bet is to just build modules to namespace your functions.
