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.
