Would it be possible to design a statically typed JIT'ed language to build a web framework like Ruby on Rails, an attempt to gain the speed of a statically typed language?
Embedded Ruby (eRuby) in html is a feature of Ruby on Rails that I don't see an obvious way to implement in a statically typed JIT'ed or compiled language.
I am not familiar with the internals of the implementation of Ruby on Rails, but more generally are there other features of Ruby on Rails that would be very difficult to implement in a statically typed JIT'ed or compiled language?
