Description

I've been using sorbet at work, and the biggest (or only one I care about) feature that sorbet has (actually, tapioca does) is the DSL compilers support. Not only is it used to add the metaprog methods into the respective rails classes (activerecord attributes, etc..), among other popular DSLs it ships with, it supports adding our own custom compilers for local metaprogramming.

Not sure whether the goal is for tapioca to support RBS one day, but something of the kind could curb some of RBS gaps for metaprogramming.

Research direction

Read the linked Tapioca DSL compilers documentation first, then compare its custom-compiler model with the RBS project's current capabilities. The issue does not specify an implementation entry point or acceptance criteria, so a concrete definition of done cannot be determined from the payload.
