I remember feeling similar a few years back when a scripting language was thrust upon me (python in this case) coming then from a few years in statically compiled languages. It felt clumsy and unproductive for an astonishingly long time. I complained endlessly about this and that. At some point though it somehow clicked and I felt at home in the language. Ruby is really not easy to get into with its n ways of doing things and supposed "magic" methods. I think it can be worth it. Rails (7) feels very productive right now. (Never had to deal with sorbet/rubocop though and guilty of just writing "debugger", Rubymine has normal breakpoints as well though.)
