Diamondback Ruby

Diamondback Ruby (DRuby) is an extension to Ruby that aims to bring the benefits of static typing to Ruby without compromising the expressiveness of the language. The main features of DRuby are:

  • Type inference: DRuby uses inference to model most of Ruby’s idioms as precisely as possible without any need for programmer intervention.
  • Type annotations: Methods may be given explicit type annotations with an easy to use syntax inspired by RDoc.
  • Dynamic checking: When necessary, methods can be type checked at runtime, using contracts to isolate and properly blame any errant code, similar to gradual typing.
  • Metaprogramming support: DRuby includes a combined static and dynamic analysis to precisely model dynamic meta-programming constructs, such aseval and method_missing.
