You might be interested in the Crystal language. It&#x27;s a statically-typed, Object-oriented, Ruby inspired language. It&#x27;s Ruby with types, basically.<p>You might also be interested in Elixir which ties in to the Erlang ecosystem, but if you are super into OOP (like me) you might find it slightly more difficult, but since you have experience with static-types, you probably know some FP stuff, and so it&#x27;s not that bad.<p>Either way, best of luck. It takes a brave soul to fight with Rails. I&#x27;ve been writing Ruby for about three years now and still haven&#x27;t touched Rails just because I can imagine how little fun it is to try and debug dynamic-typed web stuff. Noooooo thanks.
