You may know this already but let me state it anyway for the benefit of
our live studio audience....

The strong vs. weak typing issue
is a different issue than compile vs runtime typing.

You actually have 4 combinations to choose from...

weak   typing + compile time typing ==> C
strong typing + compile time typing ==> Java
weak   typing + run     time typing ==> Perl
strong typing + run     time typing ==> Python
