According to carroll@cis.udel.edu (Mark Carroll):

Well, sure. But we're not in a competition, we're discussing specific
language features related to typing. Right?

I haven't needed either MI or dynamic typing yet.

I continue to consider this statement patently wrong, unless someone
has solved the halting problem and didn't tell me. :-)
