I disagree with the language being "statically-typed" ...

Ok, I stretched the meaning of the term. But in my defense, 'statically-typed' refers to data-type usage being validated at compile time whereas Euphoria does it at run time. However, with a bit more work, we could get the parser to pick up many instances of incorrect data type usage.

For instance ... 

procedure FOO(integer a, sequence b) 
   ---  whatever --- 
end procedure 
 
FOO( "abc", 3)

This would fail at run-time but we could get it to fail at parse time instead. The difference is that we could pick up bugs before the bad code was run.
