> Your Ruby program will fail to run for stupid reasons the first time you run it, which is not the experience Java and Go and Rust programmers have. I know exactly the feeling, but I don't think it's just the types that give it but that it's compiled. I similarly moved on from ruby after 5 years but to Elixir and was similarly surprised to (re-) learn that a simple compile step catches so many braindead typos, misnamed variables, not imported function calls, and the like. Types go above and beyond this, but I think there's a huge step up just going from interpreted to compiled.
