PHP has mage huge strides in typing too, I havent kept up with Ruby to know if they do the same
- sinsterizme 5y agoUnfortunately Ruby's typing story is abysmal. I hope they manage to improve it soon, otherwise I fear the language will continue to flounder
- sam0x17 5y agoSure, community interest peaked around 2014, but usage among enterprise and startups is higher now than it ever was. Ruby is boring now because it works.
- horsawlarway 5y agoNo - typing is still basically a complete after-thought in Rails. Sorbet is trying, but it's... not there yet (although getting better).
- sam0x17 5y agoIf you want typing in Rails, you're in reality itching to try Crystal lang and most likely Amber framework. Much faster too as it's a systems language.
- redbar0n 5y agoI’m itching to try Crystal, since it has goroutines aka. greenthreads aka. fibers for easy concurrency, static types, automatic null checking, and performance on par with Golang. But Crystal has around 468 open bugs at the time of writing :( https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/labels/kind%3Abug https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/labels/kind%3Abug Issues are well over 1k…
- sam0x17 5y agoI did run a startup for a year that was on crystal, and I will say the community is quite good at addressing real bugs. There are a lot of "you don't know what you're doing" bugs and "this is already fixed but you haven't updated" bugs and "this is really a feature request" bugs in the tracker. I wouldn't read into it much. There hardly exists a popular programming language or framework without at least several thousand open issues.
