Is there any plan (discussion) to add optional types to Ruby? Something
similar to what Dart has.

Hi,
No. I don't like the optional static typing.
I'd rather add soft typing with type inference, but I have no idea to
implement it in efficient/compatible way.

great to see Matz replied here!
- Semantically, dart is very similar to ruby (to some extent):
1. everything is object
2. single inheritance
3. mixed in
With dart has first-class function, it wouldn't be too difficult to
implement proc etc in ruby as well.
I am just curious, if ruby can bring dart-vm under its belt?
- Of course, the motivation is speed
Thanks
