Again, please read Gilad Bracha's position paper. He concisely enumerates
the ways in which a decision to make a statically typed language inherently
affects the design of other parts of the language. Similarly, a
dynamically-typed language will allow design decisions that rule out static
typing. He does a good job giving examples of the sorts of interactions
that may occur.
