Stripe is probably the second biggest Ruby place after GitHub. They have pretty good sized teams working on Ruby tools like Sorbet.

Shopify is the biggest Ruby company if you measure market value, they are currently worth 185 billion. It's not that far from Oracle's market value.

Yes but the more the better :). We need to leverage all the resources we could get our hands on. Instead of having Shopify / Stripe funding all the work on JIT and other Core Ruby development.

A dynamically typed language like ruby doesn't sound as the language of choice for processing sensitive transactions without data loss. Ofc possible, but it sounds scary.
