Considering how anti-types dhh is, there is not going to be any official support for this anytime soon.
In his most recent interviews the philosophy can be summarised as "if you love types, good for you, but rails isn't for you"
This is pretty close to Matz’s stance as well.
Personally, the argument for strong types is when you’re writing critical foreseeably permanent architecture. It’s an extra layer of security and explanation.
For me, a sensible use of types helps reducing cognitive load during development.
It also help with autocomplete and linting.
