Smoke and mirrors time... notice how "statically typed" has become
"statically linked". The two concepts are orthogonal.

Besides:

-rwx--x--x   3 bin      bin        29217 Sep 28  1988 /bin/sh
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      206380 Nov  8 12:02 libXlisp.a
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      175889 Nov  8 12:11 xlisp

And this is a "toy" language!
