It already is, kind of, it is called Crystal, but yeah it isn't the same thing.

If you don't mind starting from scratch and using a statically typed language, crystal is amazing. However, you will not get vary far porting any large ruby project to crystal without a rewrite from scratch.
One thing I do like is that porting code from ruby to crystal to javascript is actually somewhat possible. FTW.
But why not just use Opal for that?
