> Other statically typed languages retain type information at runtime.

Funnily enough, Haskell[0] doesn't... unless you ask it to by explicitly asking for it via Typable[1].

[0] ... which is renowned/infamous for its extremely static+strong typing discipline. It is nice that one can opt in via Typeable, but it's very rare to actually need it.
