For far more reading than anyone could possibly tolerate, see various dicussions at http://lambda-the-ultimate.org. Go to the home page, enter "static typing" in the search box, and then report back two days later :-) e.g. "Why type systems are interesting" http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/view/100 (continued (!) in part II http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/view/175 ) Alistair. ----------------------------------------- ***************************************************************** Confidentiality Note: The information contained in this message, and any attachments, may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
