[E-Lang] static typing

This is a great line, and one which I will put in my pocket for use in
future presentations, panels, and debates. I am going to chew on whether to
use it in Walnut, where my goal is not to convince people to eschew static
typing (at the risk of turning off a percentage of the readers by sounding
shrill) but merely soften them up enough to get them to try the language. If
I can just get them to use E for 3 or 4 days, I'm convinced they will become
advocates. At least, if 3 or 4 days of E programming does not make them
advocates, we have a bigger problem than the discussion of typing in Walnut
:-)
