Ruby does have the best testing tooling of any I’ve tried. But I feel like it’s half to make up for how horribly unreliable the language is. The whole thing being untyped makes it borderline impossible to know the code is correct without unit tests covering everything.

"Untyped" means, for example, you can't tell a string from a number, because they are the same type.

You mean "not statically typed". Which also applies to Javascript, PHP, Python, ... so if that critique doesn't stick to those, it's not a critique you can level at Ruby.
