Alright. A few very lucky and successful companies adopted Sorbet "to some extent". That doesn't mean the Ruby community is moving in that direction at all. It just means if you are in the lucky 1% of companies that reach that crazy scale and success you'll have better tools now.
I don't think your average startup needs Sorbet or that the Ruby community is moving in that direction (let's face it: the Ruby community is mostly Rails, and Rails is not going in that direction).
