Like, if we did then the right answer might not even involve static typing.
I suspect any static type system we could successfully add to Ruby wouldn't do anything I want from a type system

What do you want from a type system ? Structural typing with inference at compile time could say "see, this code wont ever be reached"

Structural typing would be weak at best in Ruby, given that methods are defined on objects so dynamically.

Structural typing at a bare minimum, preferably something that helps separate implementation from data as well (e.g. typeclass polymorphism)
