I don't believe GP meant 'type systems' the way you mean them. He's talking about the more powerful concepts such as dependent typing, not just the existence of types.

There are very few popular languages which would fit this category IMO, depending on how one defines powerful type system and popular. Scala is the only candidate that I can think of for my own definitions of those two concepts.
