Statically typed? As in Go? I invite you to work on Gorgonia (https://github.com/gorgonia/gorgonia). It's written in Go, and neural networks written with Gorgonia has a decent type system (https://github.com/chewxy/hm) . It uses dual numbers for differentiation.

On top of that, the meta language, Go is also statically typed.

We need help on various things: compilation optimizations, more operators, etc.

Well typed, as in Haskell? I invite you to work on Grenade.

Not that Go is bad, but it does lack operator overloading, which can make numerical stuff kind of annoying.
