Sorry, you are making a big mistake if you believe that Eiffel and Java are
dynamic languages. Maybe you are thinking of Smalltalk. Eiffel and Java are
just as amenable to static type checking as C++ and Ada 95. The only feature
of Java that might be considered dynamic (and the results not statically
checkable) is the facility to load at run time new class files that didn't
exist when the program was compiled (or even when the program was loaded).
