It may not be statically typed, but it is strongly typed which is usually more useful than static typing.
For instance the type system in C is static but weak, creating entire classes of issues that are hard to debug that don't exist in ruby.

The benefit of static typing is that you can catch many mistakes at compile time. Static typing also makes analysis and navigation of the code base easier.
