I think the work being done on ruby with the truffle/graal project is interesting in this regard - it's my understanding that ruby is very dynamic too - but it's interesting to see what can be achieved by inclining c to ruby to c etc. It's a crazy stack, compared to something like red (redlang) - but it's amazing how close they are able to get to "magically fast compiler/runtime".
If they manage to combine tracing/warm-up with ahead-of-time compilation to executables... It'll be very interesting indeed.
