DESCRIPTION:Stripe builds the economic infrastructure for the Internet. Ea
 ch year we handle billions of dollars on behalf of Internet businesses —
  and most of the logic for handling that money is written in Ruby. Ruby’
 s dynamic types made for high initial developer velocity\, but over time a
 s the codebase grew that same feature became a hindrance. With millions of
  lines of code already written and hundreds of engineers writing more each
  day\, Stripe decided to create a fast\, gradual typechecker for Ruby\, ca
 lled Sorbet. Come hear about the process of developing Sorbet\, some of th
 e problems it seeks to solve\, and some perspective on types and programmi
 ng language design from an industry perspective.
