There's a reason it didn't come from a typed language... It uses a lot of dynamic features and metaprogramming.

That would be nice. There are so many attempt to clone it and the clones are always missing some important piece of what makes rails rails. Lack of good, heavily integrated libraries is a universal failure of all of the ones I’ve seen.
