This post from @honeybadger.io is about runtime types, it just doesn’t know it! It does a good job of demonstrating the simplicity and power of Ruby’s === interface, and a runtime type is simply “an object that responds to ===.”

If you haven’t yet come across the Ruby Next project from @palkan.bsky.social and Evil Martians, do yourself a favor and check it out. Especially the require-hooks gem (github.com/ruby-next/r...), which allows you to define custom “around” callbacks for when a source file is required.

If the only or primary reason you like types in your source code is to have a richer, fancier text editing experience with more dropdowns that have more items in them, you are cosplaying being a developer.

Joel and I have made fantastic progress on our Ruby enhancements gem that brings rich runtime type assertions into your Ruby projects and Rails apps. Joel recorded a short demo of how to add type constraints to method definitions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9r...

I’m preparing a talk, and I’d love to get a clearer picture of the wider community’s conception of what a “type” is. What definition would you give? What is the primary purpose of defining and using types? What constitutes a “type system”?
I want to hear from you.

This a great encapsulation of how Joel and I pursue the most beautiful, ergonomic, productive DX we can imagine for the problems we tackle. In this case, we finally cracked the nut on adding typing to method signatures in a way that feels like native Ruby.
I wrote about the designing the perfect type signature syntax in Ruby.

I love what @calebporzio.bsky.social is doing w/ Flux UI, and the new pillboxes component is 😍. I enjoy trying to build components without an ounce of JS anywhere to be found. Mine requires keyboard nav with TAB, but is otherwise basically identical: play.tailwindcss.com/qB07fPsFG9
