I think you're right, and it was more Ruby (and other similar languages) that I was abandoning rather than Rails specifically. I like Rails. I can't speak for everyone, but my perspective comes from a place of practicality as opposed to philosophy. I (and also my team) try to push the domain we're modelling into the types, but we also write a whole bunch of tests (which includes isolated, integrated, and property-based tests). I've never understood the argument of one vs the other — it's great to have both. Programming is tough so I'll take all the help I can get.
