It's not an implementation detail, it has consequences on the
kind of code you are allowed to write, because it's not really
a dynamic language. After the JIT compilation it's
"statically" typed, with some niceties like the type splitting
you have seen with the x variable. In Julia you can't write all
the programs you can write in Python. But in practice the
limitations are not a problem for the scientific code, and the
advantages are great.

So this basically means:
setName(name)
userName = name; // string type
extern module / cracker:
setName(5.0) // Error or at least doesn't affect original
userName
Right or wrong?
