I wish there would be a language like Ruby but strong type or statically typed.

I like its rich standard library style and encapsulation style (e.g. .map with lambda).

I've moved to Scala purely because Ruby is not typed. In a large codebase, it becomes really difficult to refactor. Even renaming stuff is convoluted.
