Ruby has types with RBS and Steep now. It's a lot like using .d.ts sidecar files alongside JavaScript, via jsconfig.json configuring tsc. I like it a lot!

Perhaps this will finally force the pendulum to swing back towards continuous integration (the practice now aliased trunk-based development to disambiguate it from the build server). If we're really lucky, it may even swing the pendulum back to favoring working software over comprehensive documentation, but maybe that's hoping too much. :-)

This is the exact analogy that Gene Kim and Steve Yegge used throughout their book Vibe Coding: Building Production-Grade Software With GenAI, Chat, Agents, and Beyond.

Unambiguously, though, it is. There's so much trash imperative code in its training data that LLMs tend to vomit out garbage. But if you anchor it with OOP, the quality tends to be higher.
