From this discussion on Lobsters, and from the paper that one commenter links to, it sounds like “gradual typing” means something different from what this gem does.

Gradual typing means mixing dynamic (run-time) type-checking and static (compile-time) type-checking. This gem does only run-time type-checking.

The following might be better terms for what Rubype implements:

  • contracts
  • run-time type assertions
  • run-time type checking
