> I'm not surprised you found Ruby uncomfortable when you describe Ruby as not having a type system. It might just not be the right language for you. That's fine.

Thought we were supposed to "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize" around here and not nitpick misstatements.



I did not suggest you believe that Ruby does not actually have a type system at all, but your statement to me still implies a view about the way Ruby treats typing that suggests to me that it is a fairly natural consequence you will find Ruby uncomfortable. There's no value judgment in that, nor nitpicking or criticism. Just an observation that Ruby might just not be right for you.


I'll take your suggestion along with my 12 years of professional experience with Ruby under advisement.
