What if you had to prepare something for a certain type? foo.f() is a given, but what about foo.x, foo.a(), or something else? You wouldn't know and doing `if (foo.x) x;` for each property IMO is not clean. What about restricting types? differentiating type[] vs type?

Making good benchmark comparisons is hard. You need expertise in both compilers you're using to make sure that they're both properly configured AND equivalently configured, as well as enough knowledge to choose and interpret the benchmarks themselves. Very few people have all of the above, and time to spare doing it.

Car is not a class, it's a function. That's my point. No one would ever say they're creating a "class" in C just because they created a struct and then made a whole bunch of functions that take the struct as an argument. So why is it OK for people to say things like "this is a javascript class" when it's not a class at...

Yes, right, but then my second point still stands: if you use some C99 code, you probably can use Mingw to target WinRT, and you are entering a world of pain anyway if you have a mixed C99/C++ project.

And since Java 5 and Generics came out, people very rarely use casts that can cause ClassCastException. The *point* is that the *existence* of escape hatches does not mean you don't have a "proper" type system. Unless you have a different definition of "type system" than type theorists.
