Steep 1.5: A Static Type Checker for Ruby— Ruby 3.0’s introduction of the RBS type signature language teased a world of statically type-checked Ruby for those who wanted it, but another piece is required: a tool to *do* the type checking. Enter Steep. Soutaro Matsumoto |
📗 And a book: Ruby on Rails Background Jobs with Sidekiq— A short book, currently in beta, published by Pragmatic Bookshelf. The author notes: “This book is based around the truth that putting code into Sidekiq jobs is almost trivial, but operating such a system is not.

Extralite 2: Another Way to Work with SQLite— An alternative (and faster) SQLite wrapper for Ruby that comes in two flavors: one that uses the system installed SQLite and one that bundles 3.42.0. v2.0 (quickly followed by v2.1) is a big update and includes enhanced querying possibilities and improves the Sequel adapter.
