[MacRuby-devel] Static Typing

[denny trebbin]

mirah is a project to transform the beauty of ruby to java but with respecting the rules of java. so mirah forces you to use static typing.god i hope nobody tries to implement static typing in ruby. dynamic typing is so much more freedom and thanks to cucumber a breeze :)sorry but i hope this "no" for static typing is hammered into titan or something other very hard to break material.

Gotta love categorical answers like this one.  They
always sound so definitive and are all too frequently
shown to be incorrect.

There's some really interesting work being done in
this area, so a better answer might be "not soon":
