Who says that is all static languages are doing? Steven claimed dynamic languages excelled at runtime checks. I counter by stating that statically typed languages are just as good at runtime checks. How do you infer from that, that all that statically languages do, is the same as a dynamic language? -- Antoon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
