I'd be worried of a false sense of similarity. Recently there was an article about crystal, some comments said Ruby was ~one inspiration and not the main goal. You could spend more time fighting your old habits with something that doesn't translate 1 to 1.

I spent some time working on a Crystal project and the superficial similarities to Ruby were more confusing than anything. Crystal isn't just "Ruby but fast and statically typed". They are quite different languages.
apparently it's not gonna converge so rubyists be warned
