That's absolutely the correct call for rails.
It's the main reason I see Rails not lasting another decade. All the Rails apps I have been working on become almost unmanageable after 6+ years because keeping things updated on an untyped system is borderline impossible to do safely.

There are very significant differences between distributing programs in a static vs. dynamic language. Github's Hub tool is a good example. It was originally written in Ruby. This requires that the user: - may need to handle a certain environment in terms of Ruby interpreter (potentially install a new version) - may need to handle a certain libraries group (gemsets in RVM) - needs to install dependencies - needs to h…
Okay. Sounds like you're on the road to a convincing argument against Ruby. (I myself have avoided Ruby in the past for similar reasons, despite other things about it that are attractive.) And gesturing towards Golang is really just highlighting a conscious design decision by the Golang team—who didn't have to design it as a static language in order to achieve the same effect; they're orthogonal issues. Where does th…

Yes, there something wrong with it, because the distribution of the runtime is done via binaries i.e. browsers. Using Go or Crystal is mimicking that level of ease. Ruby, or JS (which is more of a mess than Ruby even though the runtime is already distributed) are still a pain to share. No credit goes to the JS distribution system(s) nor the form that the code itself is distributed in for the most difficult bit being…
