> Ruby is strongly typed. I think one has to bend backward in order to defend that claim; but you probably have some ground somewhere since the term "strongly" is weakly defined :) By strong _I_ meant HM-typesystem strong, or stronger... (for instance I dont think the NullPointerException-king Java is strongly types either -- though it is strictly typed -- again a matter of personal definition)
