If you want > typed variable, I don't agree that. Because type-free variable is a > essential feature of scripting languages, I'm believing. Some have optional type-safety. Pike , for example (it is used by a webserver called roxen challenger) uses type declarations, but it allows `mixed' as run-time scapehole type, so at the expense of performance and safety, runtime flexibility is possible to be achieved. Guile, a scheme variant, offers arrays of uniform type, which also leads to performance gain in case this is useful. > > > 2. has anyone considered a java port?
