Not being able to exit an outer loop (or, for that matter, to identify the companion beginning of a control structure, takes odd contortions for the first and several minutes at a time for the second. Strong typing, even optional strong typing, would be a speed advantage when repeatedly handling math, for example--if theVals[] will only hold integers (e.g., pennies), and I regularly sum them, it's simply faster for the code to know that they're integers instead of converting them. And when you have not alternative but 10K+ lines of script, and handlers that are unavoidably several hundred lines, being able to localize variables is a Godsend; you don't have to worry about whether you used the same obvious name elsewhere, and whether you'll get side affect. -- Dr. Richard E.
