You Don't Need Types in Ruby (zhisme.com)

There's an excellent talk from Ruby conf given by Noel Rapin - https://youtu.be/OM37TfsCyF4?si=HsS9yXNGiTlf5Oo9 about this.

there's so many ways you can enjoy ruby without types.

Sorbet needs type inference and `dynamic` keyword

And this is why I don't use Ruby.

You also don't need variable names with point-free form, also known as tacit programming. I still prefer to name and type intermediate things.

That's exactly the essence and the power of Ruby. If you want static typing, compilation, performance with Ruby-like syntax just use Crystal https://crystal-lang.org/

Yes absolutely. People forget one of the reasons to use ruby is the beauty of the code. Any typed language is verbose and ugly. I understand other languages are more safe, I'm happy to code unsafe for developer joy.
