At this point Ruby (which is still slow and dynamic compared to most other faster languages) looks like a sunk cost.
Only reason why it's still alive is Rails, I don't see much hope for it longer term, Crystal and Elixir does IMO.
Using Ruby/Sorbet screams using JS/Flow to me, instead of using a language with types built in.

- freedomben 6y agoObviously programming language preferences are like favorite flavors of ice cream, but Ruby is still the best scripting language there is IMHO.
