One of the main benefits of static typing is to detect errors at compile time which is a benefit of typed Scheme compilers too.
BTW, static typing goes way before Java :)

But a static type system that lacks power and expressiveness is very constraining and can detect very few classes of errors. Hence the example of java, a very inexpressive static type system. >BTW, static typing goes way before Java :) Again, obviously. Why are you saying random obvious things to me?
