  Have you looked at Kotlin? I looooved Ruby. But now I've come to a conclusion that a stronger type system is worth it: in teams, for LLMs, for my own sanity. Kotlin is basically a Ruby (OO first with lots of FP goodness) with a serious type system. And where Ruby uses C-written libs in some places, with Kotlin one uses Java written libs from time to time. See http4k for a nice implementation of Rack + a lot of goodness from Rails, without becoming a framework (it's just a lib).

    > Have you looked at Kotlin? Yes Kotlin is nice too. Type systems are important and helpful. Performance is a must too.. that's why we all in some point left ruby... but ruby makes you happy.. Maybe because my experience with Kotlin is restricted to Android, i didnt love that that much. Same with Crystal or even JRuby.. it's almost ruby, but not really.
