A new major version of Nemerle language
was released. Nemerle features a very high level .NET language with
functional programming support. This version brings full support to .NET
2.0 generics and a bunch of
other things. After the release of C# 3.0 spec preview
it might be interesting to see how could next generation of .NET
languages look like.

Nope. Type declarations are a part of the language, and a good compiler will issue the requisite errors and warnings. SBCL/CMUCL is particularly good about this, and will do enough type inference to catch many type errors even without declarations. I don't usually bother to put type-declarations in my code, yet the only type errors (that I make, anyway), and that the compiler misses are polymorphism-related errors that wouldn't be caught 'till runtime in C# anyway.

One such feature missing in Lisp is possibility of static type checks and type inference.
