Why not? Can ease of development not be a consideration? So if some kind of faults are easier to detect at compile time if you have static typing than if you have to design a test for them, I don't see why that can't be an argument. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
