I dunno. I used to use a lot of Ruby. The lack of types regularly made my life a real pain. I ended up building frameworks[0] tied really tightly to dry-struct to try to work around that, and it wasn't great.

I use TypeScript for everything I used to use Ruby for, save for the occasional file munging inside of `pry`.

This is pretty much the route I’ve taken, except I used an internal framework at Airbnb for typings instead of “dry-...”.

These days I write Typescript. I’m excited for Deno, which looks like it’ll solve most of the Node bullshit.

And Ruby 2.6 is already much, much faster than it was in the days when it was too slow for Twitter.

Ruby 3.0 should be much faster still.
