Hm. So a hybrid system simulation language embedded in ruby might be of 
interest? The simulation part is static, compared to ruby. It's based on 
dynamic generation of ruby C extensions for efficiency. The static and 
dynamic aspects are in balance to achieve good performance without 
sacrificing programmer-friendliness. If you think this is of interest, 
let me know (off-list if you prefer) and maybe I'll submit a statement.
