Nope. Strong typing is more or less irrelevant. There are only two
things it is good for:
(a) to check for programmer's mistakes;
(b) to allow for proper argument and return value automatic casting.
Both of them are *completely* compile-time, and (but for them
proper casting of (b)) have no run-time consequence at all.
Sorry for the multiple replies, but I must disagree. Strong typing
has a huge impact on the runtime because checks do not need to be
made in the runtime – we have already verified in the typechcker that
it will all work. Unfortunately for a C derivative like O-C, strong
typing is never going to happen.
