Comment on Loren Segal: Too Lazy to "Type"parent

It would be cool if a language could be both, by using this research to create a language that recognises the difference between load time and run time. The dynamic parts would be used to load the program, after which dynamic changes would be turned off, allowing function dispatch or whatever it is that is slow in a dynamic language to be sped up.

Basically, a (very!) enhanced preprocessor? That would definitely be useful.
