I don't know if this counts, but there's Cobra:

Cobra has a lot more than just (optional) static typing. Some of the 
features strike me as good ideas, such as contracts and unit tests, some 
as dubious (there's a lot of changes to the syntax which, in my opinion, 
hurt readability). But overall, it strikes me as a very exciting language.
