As an avid Rubyist I have no interest in introducing types into a dynamic language. I would just rather use C# or Java. I never understood why people are trying to make a round peg fit in a square hole.

Ruby has types already, everywhere. An optional system that annotates these types and expresses relationships between them—allowing you to specify constraints and detect errors that you would otherwise not notice—is a win-win.
