I tried to read most of the thread, but I'm still not sure about the exact meaning of the proposal. Here is how I understand it.
There are two ways to add strong typing to the language. One is called "static typing", and it's done before you generate a bytecode, another, "dynamic/run-time typing" is done at run-time.
Python already has strong dynamic typing. strong-vs-weak and static-vs-dynamic are orthogonal attributes of type systems. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia ---------------------------------------------------------------
