What about Qi? What about Typed Racket?
2 comments

One question I've had about Typed Racket since I first saw it: why all the colons? Seems to mess with the elegance of Lisp, and especially Scheme.

There has to be another friendlier syntax for typing, no?

why not ? colons are used to denotes values type in ML
Typed Racket combines all the inconvenience of type declarations with all the performance provided by a dynamic language.
