Oh this sort of thing is far from new for DHH, there's long been a desire to oust him from Rails or fork it, but it's never quite came to fruition, and unless Shopify were to back it, it is unlikely it would survive :-\

I guess I wasn't aware since I'm not really involved in the Ruby community. I always knew he was kind of an oddball from a few of his posts I've seen and podcasts I've heard him on. Never would have guessed it was this bad.

Until now I thought his craziest idea was that dynamic typing is better than static typing. (Just a joke, not trying to start a war over dynamic vs static lol)

To be fair it is an objectively crazy idea that dynamic typing is better than static typing (I'll start the war, it's fine).

Lol. I assumed a Ruby person would prefer dynamic typing and I didn't want to insult you.

But yeah I agree. Given the opportunity I'm almost always going to go for a statically typed language.
