I think you may be referring to Matz, creator of Ruby, who has made a stance against strong types in Ruby. We do have Sorbet, but that doesn’t go far enough for strong type enthusiasts. DHH is only a secondary voice in this area.
- Gigachad 4y agoNah, when DHH was asked on Twitter what he thinks about having rails typed he responded “Absolutely not” and never gave any more reasoning.
- cutler 4y agoI don't see how DHH has any say in the matter. It's the language which is statically or dynamically typed, not the framework.
- Gigachad 4y agoTyping in Ruby will be an optional thing. You can already do it now. It’s much like opting in to typescript. If rails won’t add the types, it’s going to hold back typed ruby.
