I just want to remember everyone that Objective-C is nothing more than Smalltalk with C backward compatibility. Also, the static type checking in early Java is pretty much the same thing as in early C++ (when both were without templates/generics).

I think I would argue with the "nothing more" part. It has split and evolves from its origins. Also, the combination has some decent advantages over straight Smalltalk.

I think 'remind' might be the word you are looking for.
