Right, but I am usually profiling and debugging other peoples' code, not my own, so that argument doesn't work. There are plenty of strictly typed languages in the world, we don't need another. The Web is inherently untyped in that browsers don't type anything. We have to intelligently deal with untyped data all the time and do the appropriate type juggling. -Rasmus
