> The biggest thing holding Ruby back is lack of gradual typing imo.

There is: https://sorbet.org/



I've used Sorbet a lot but don't really count it. I understand why others would but I find the type system is extremely shallow and limited and the overhead it adds to development (and even performance) is substantial.

Also Ruby has RBS now which is not inline and... much maligned to say the least. I think the entire ecosystem is at a crossroads rn wrt typed Ruby


And also RBS-inline if you want Jsdoc style typing


Wow I hadn't seen this before. Pretty neat, thanks. Hope this project really takes off and gains more support


No worries, I also think it deserves a bit more highlight, especially to those who are against having rbs as separate file and to those who despise the Sorbet DSL in Ruby. The plan with Rbs-inline is to merge with rbs-gem so it will come included in Rbs!
