I worked with Rails a lot. In my experience, every rails dev who is fanatical about how much they love Rails, also has little to no experience with strong types. Of the ones who later try types, they no longer love Rails. Personally I quit Rails entirely because of lack of types. No, RBS and Sorbet are not even close to good enough.

Also, every enterprise rails app I've seen (seven, to date) has been really poorly written/architected in a way that other backends just weren't. Even the fairly new ones felt like legacy code already.
