Never worked on Ruby, so I definitely cannot judge it, but that syntax looks so uncomfortable…

It can be nice to read but try debugging something like this is a horrible experience.

I had 5 years of ruby on rails experience before jobs decided on other Lang's. Its still not terrible persay but it hurts when you have multiple of these "smart" objects doing really silly things and debugging it all.

I programm in Ruby since 2006.

In my opinion it has some of the best debugging tools available.

What was the horrible part you experienced?

For me its auto resolving types. But its been close to 4 years since I've touched any ruby. So would love to be proven wrong ;)

Type safety is still optional but now part of the standard library.
