Ask HN: What's the status of Stripe's Ruby type checker?

2 pointsby BaronVonSteubenabout 6 years ago
About 9 months ago, Stripe announced they were building a type checker for Ruby called &quot;Sorbet.&quot; Haven&#x27;t heard or seen anything since, and was wondering if anything has been announced that I may have missed, and&#x2F;or if the project is still going to happen.<p>Reference: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17217815

Hey! I work at Stripe on Sorbet. Don’t worry, you haven’t missed any announcement. Stripe is still very much committed to Sorbet; it’s used by hundreds of engineers every day to catch bugs and increase developer productivity. We’re currently hard at work polishing Sorbet to make it mature enough for people to use outside of Stripe. It’s not quite ready yet, but if you email sorbet@stripe.com we’ll have your email address so we can let you know when we do have something worth announcing.<p>Thanks for the interest in Sorbet!
