Slightly OT: static typing

Hi,

I read it, and loved it. My interpretation of the part about static typing is
that it condemns any practice that relies on static typing alone. For a language
like Erlang, there is already a lot being done to ensure runtime safety - adding
static typing would only be a bonus. We can do without, and Erlang won't become
C or Pascal just by adding typing.

But that's only my opinion. Regards,
Vlad
