What would you consider to be a good static typing system?



C#'s, if you're looking for a Java-style language done right.

Objective-C's is also interesting, for one that makes some different design tradeoffs. Being optionally static with duck typing, for one.

Any ML variant, if you want to see how expressive a language can get when static typing is treated as a way for the compiler to work for you, not you working for the compiler.


ReasonML has it just right imho
