Multiple dispatch and compile time times are not exclusive at all.

I'm saying the problem isn't solved by multiple dispatch alone, but it is solved by compile time types alone. You can use both together, of course.

The issue whether the language is interpreted or compildd (which would distinguish compile time types from strong types) is in my opinion completely orthogonal to the issue of how dispatch works. Strong types and multiple dispatch fix the issues I see even in an interpreted language.
