    If you're looking for static typing a dynamic language is going to be a poor fit. I find a place for both. I love Rust, but trying to write a tool that consumed a GraphQL API with was a brutal exercise in frustation. I'd say that goes for typing of JSON or YAML or whatever structured format in general. It's refreshing being able to just work with data in the form I already know it's in. Ruby can be an incredibly productive language to work with.

    If you're looking for static analysis in general, please note that there are mature tools available. Rubocop¹ is probably the most popular and allows for linting and code formatting. Brakeman² is a vulnerability scanner for Rails. Sorbet³ is a static type checker.

    The tooling is there if you want to try things out. But, if you want a statically typed language then that's a debate that's been going since the dawn of programming language design. I doubt it's going to get resolved in this thread.

  • Ruby’s hidden gems: Sorbet
    3 projects | dev.to | 2 Oct 2024
    Sorbet, implemented in C++, is a Ruby gem designed to harmonize the dynamism of Ruby with the reliability and predictability of static typing. As Ruby projects scale in size and complexity, maintaining code quality and preventing errors becomes increasingly challenging. A primary culprit is the absence of static typing, which often necessitates heavy reliance on extensive testing and runtime checks to ensure code correctness, resulting in more frequent bugs slipping into production.

    ...which goes beyond static typing into declaring explicitly what something needs to support to be used by the method. Granted this is more complicated than it sounds and has a number of drawbacks, as you can see in this discussion.

    First let's introduce the tool: Sorbet is a gem developed by Stripe that aims to bring type notation syntax and type checking support for the Ruby ecosystem by utilizing the "Gradual typing" philosophy, it also provide type generation from YARD comments via the tapioca gem, allowing to grow alongside the already built Ruby codebase.
  • An Introduction to Metaprogramming in Ruby

    We have hundreds of thousands of lines of ruby code spanning many services / monoliths. Even now I find it somewhat annoying to open a controller / component that is basically an empty class def but somehow executes a bunch of complex stuff via mixins, monkey patches etc, and you have to figure out how.

    We are turning to https://sorbet.org/ to reign in the madness. I'm keen to know if others are doing the same, and how they are finding it (pros and cons)
