On: Happy Birthday, Ruby

[jrvarela56]

I love the syntax, but I'm hating the debugging. Feel like a big chunk of my time is wasted chasing after errors that a compiler could catch for me.

Would love to have optional some kind of optional typing. Has anyone tried any of these? https://github.com/soutaro/steep https://github.com/plum-umd/rdl

Any other suggestions?

I've not personally tried it, but I remember thinking rdl sounded promising after seeing this talk (looks like there's a video online): https://www.thestrangeloop.com/2017/type-checking-ruby.html
