Well I don't mind to agree to disagree :)

Similar points between your comment and the other reply. Still I worked with Java in the past and Ruby has been a liberation for me. It allows me to simpler, cleaner and less complex to write my code.

I work on one of the largest Rails apps and the added typing is usually more of a burden than anything - sure could be the implementation of typing which is harder for Ruby than let's say JS (to your point)

Still I don't mind others wanting to write typed code and finding more positives to it than I do - I just still am not convinced that statically typed is ever objectively better than dynamic and it stays of subjective nature.

TLDR: imho the quality problem of most large code bases is not due to dynamic typing but due to many other factors that lead to low quality code
