How does Ruby feel for someone with a staticaly typed background (Scala)

1

Sinatra

Also note that while Rails is the biggest web framework in the Ruby ecosystem, not everything has to be a Rails app. There's Sinatra for small things, Padrino and now Hanami for larger more structured web apps. Ruby is also used a lot in the backend scripting, ETL work (Extract Transform Load), DevOps, etc.

Crystal (programming language)

Coming from C, C++, Java, I found Ruby classes to be a lot like Java classes but without the additional formality. The OOP paradigm is still there (everything is an object in Ruby), but there's no abstract keyword or interfaces or virtual friend methods (although there's modules and protected methods). Ruby is duck-typed, so a lot of the time you just have to trust that the right type of data is given to you (although you can still do explicit type checking with obj.kind_of?(Foo) and raise an ArgumentError or TypeError). In order to remember what types a method should receive, I document them using YARDoc (similar to JavaDoc but for Ruby). If you want Ruby syntax/stdlib and a more traditional Static Typed experience, checkout Crystal which provides both Type Inference and Strong Typing.
