man i always bounce between loving ruby's speed to build and wishing for just a bit more built-in safety tbh. you ever feel like adding more types actually slows you down or does it make big teams way less stressed?
- bradly 1y agoI've been a Ruby dev since 2006 and started using Sorbet fulltime at work about a year ago. After about six months I started wanting it in my personal projects. Not enough to add the dependency, but if Ruby had it built-in I would probably use it. For myself, it makes it easier to work on code I'm not familiar with either because I didn't write it or I wrote it longer than X days ago. The Sorbet syntax is pretty bad, though. And things go from bad to worse as soon as you get a bit tricky with composition or want to do something like verify the type of an association. I haven't tried inline RBS comments yet, but the DSL does look more pleasing. The team in general had mixed views. Some hated it, some liked it, most developers just don't really care–although now the Sorbet advocates are claiming it helps the AI, so now there is that leaning on the Sorbet lever as well.
