I have been looking at several oodls and I heard that smalltalk variables
are untyped (by this I mean that they aren't assigned a type when created,
parameters don't specify what type of input they need, etc.) As a C++
programmer that sounds horrible. Having used smalltalk, what do you think
about it?
