I’d hardly call ruby strongly typed. There is basically no way to verify anything statically so almost all issues show up in run time. Updating Rails or any gems on a production system is a nightmare where the only option is to have 20,000 unit tests and then hope nothing blows up when you release it.

You have confused strong typing and static typing.
Some of us need the latter for the former.

What would you say some of the strengths of Ruby's type system are?
