A few words on Ruby's type annotations state
I had written a code contracts library for Ruby about 10 years ago [1]. I stopped working on it, mainly because it only provided runtime type checking, and I wanted static type checking. Nowadays my main language is typescript. I miss ruby, but can't give up the static typing that typescript provides. I really wish Ruby had a type system with the same level of support. VSCode has phenomenal TS support, and there's a community adding types to projects [2]. This is something I'd like for Ruby also.
> An integral part of this informality is relying on Matz’s taste and intuition for everything that affects the language’s core.
I think a more defined process would mean a better future for Ruby and Ruby developers.

Why I Stopped Using Sorbet in All My Ruby Projects
Contracts gem can be a nice middle-ground. It has a fairly readably syntax and only checks method inputs and outputs at runtime. We use it to annotate important core methods, while leaving the rest type-free.

Should gems support old Ruby versions like 2.4?
For example contracts gem needs to have a separate version/branch for ruby 3.x due to the breaking change above

Cells - Introduction
This gives me access to input values as long as I defined them via attr_reader. Oh what's the Contract XXX above attr_reader? They are from contracts.ruby and completely optional and won't be explained in this post. You can safely ignore those and maybe study that gem later.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Fundamental Ruby and contracts.ruby you can also consider the following projects:
