On: Open-sourcing Sorbet: a fast, powerful type checker for Ruby

[Zarel]

I feel exactly the same way. I thought I liked static typing more than dynamic typing until I tried TypeScript, but TypeScript feels like by far the best of both worlds.

I especially feel like null checking is impossible to live without, and I'm going to strongly prefer TypeScript over Go or Dart from munificent's list until they add null checking.

We're working on static null checking in Dart now. Unlike TypeScript's, Dart's approach to null checking will be sound.
