Status changed from Assigned to Rejected We are not going to add any kind of type annotation to Ruby. But as part of Ruby3x3 attempt, we are trying to add type inference (both static and dynamic). Matz. ---------------------------------------- Feature #9999: Type Annotations (Static Type Checking) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9999#change-58740 * Author: Davide D'Agostino * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto ---------------------------------------- Hi all, I know @matz is interested in introducing **type annotations** in ruby. More here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5583 I think it's time for ruby to get this. Before working on a patch I would like to know: 1. Syntax of methods signatures 2. Syntax of variables guards (?) 3. Implementation For point **1** I was thinking in some like: ~~~ruby def connect(r -> Stream, c -> Client) -> Fiber def connect(Stream r, Client c) -> Fiber # quite sure this will make some reduce problems in the grammar ~~~ Before making a proposal consider: keyword arguments and default value collisions. Then for point **2** I'm not sure if we want also check assignments but as before a syntax could be: ~~~ruby r: Client = something # will throw an exception if something is not kind of Client ~~~ Finally, **implementation**. Do we want some in python style and then leave the programmer/library for the implementation **or** (and I'm for this) we want MRI do that, if so how? Cheers! DD p.s. Sorry if this issue was already discussed but I didn't find anything except the link posted. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
