Ruby fully typed would be awesome imo, but I know that goes against a lot of the fundamentals in the language. I just like the syntax and expressiveness of it, but coming from typescript, its just such a bad DX having to work in a large Ruby codebase.

You're not the only person to reply with something like this but just to repeat, Ruby has had official gradual static typing support for 5 years now.

Gradual typing is fundermentally already part of Ruby.

Ruby could do with better static analysis tooling but people are being paid to work on that.

What do you mean with "gradual typing"? People want to know what data type a function takes and what a variable is. That's it really.
