I’ve used Sorbet on a project for 2 years recently and it honestly was the final nail in the coffin for Ruby for me.

Really rough around the edges, lots of stubs have to be added because support for gems is lackluster but whatever Sorbet generates are hit or miss etc. So you end up writing a lot of hard to understand annotations and/or people get frustrated and try to skip them etc.

Overall a very bad DX, compared to even typed Python. Don’t even want to compare it to TS because then it becomes really unfair.
