Re: Static typing question

In a sense, yes, but (from the top of my head*):

 1. Even in the statically compiled domain with some things missing
     1. e.g. many AST-transformation annotations, such as
        @InheritConstructors comes to mind, which we use all the time.
     2. Or macros.
 2. And also with a syntax (taken from Javascript) imho not well suited
    for a strongly typed language (name : type = value, instead of the
    much more readable type name = value as in all C-like languages).

Cheers,

*Caveat: I only look at Kotlin from time to time, so some of what I say 
may be outdated.
