As an avid Rubyist I have no interest in introducing types into a dynamic language. I would just rather use C# or Java. I never understood why people are trying to make a round peg fit in a square hole.

Massive code bases that are difficult to maintain and refactor. It’s a cheaper effort to add types to that code.
