RubyBreaker has its root in Rubydust (which stands for Ruby Dynamic Unraveling of Static Types), an academic research project designed and implemented at University of Maryland. However, unlike Rubydust, RubyBreaker aims to be a practical documentation tool for Ruby rather than a full-scale type inference tool. Although it is certainly possible that RubyBreaker evolves into something more solid in its type system, the primary goal of this project is to help Ruby programmers practically as much as possible.
The term, "Fusion Type," is first coined by Professor Michael W. Hicks at University of Maryland and represents an object using a structural type with respect to a nominal type.
