RBS is optional.

It won't be optional in Ruby 4, most likely.
Why would you think that? There's no evidence that dynamic typing is going away Type hints are optional precisely because they're not convenient for many cases, and the add-on type systems cannot fully express the capabilities of the language.
Seems unlikely. Ruby is all about options.
Yeah, I second the opinion that this remains optional. Ruby won't become a java-wannabe , that's a fight it cannot and would not want to win. Ruby is dynamic.
I wish I could predict the future with as much certainty as you.
