Sorbet[1] is currently the most robust tooling available. It has a few rough edges and limitations but it otherwise works great for 90% of use cases.

Oh lovely, there's this morning wasted :)

Add tapioca and it's much smoother

But Sorbet is also not part of the language, not part of the std-lib, and AFAIK there aren't plans to make it that.

Progress is really good, in this RubyKaigi talk there’s a great demo showcasing the official rbs with vscode integration https://youtu.be/4E4TRgMDYqo

A disaster so far. We tried using Sorbet for a component and we hit ab edgecase where we had to completely remove it. There is a lot of undocumented stuff, conflict between the right tooling and specifically for Sorbet, the lack of structural typing for a language like Ruby (you know, duck typing), makes it very unsuitable, nowhere near Typescript.

When we tested, there was barely an experimental type checker for RBS, that was 1 year ago.

Overall, we tried, had to bail out and stick to YARD. Horrible experience.

RBS is still suggested, but have you tried the Contracts gem?
