What about FORTH compilers?  I don't see how Forth fits into this discussion
at all.  Forth is an extremely static language, for all its dynamic
features.  +, for example, will *only* produce meaningful results when fed
integers.  As a result, it doesn't even make sense to perform type
inferencing with Forth.  :)
