Right.  I was just pointing out that you said you wanted to do "static
compilation", and then provided an small example that demonstrated
something unrelated[1] (static typing).  If you want to design a
language that has static typing, that's fine.  If you want to
implement that language using static compilation, that's fine.  You
can have both if you want.  But, they are two independent concepts,
and you're going to confuse people if you use them interchangeably.

[1] Though in theory they are orthogonal, in practice certain
combinations of static compilation vs. bytecode+VM and static
vs. dynamic typing are harder to implement than others.
