Sometimes, IMHO, it is... (Javascript strong typing is a crap; eveyone here will disagree, I know, but I don't bother about...).

I'm waiting for strongly typed JS. Bring on the code complete!

Then you don't need to wait anymore. They [^] have already done it.

Doesn't look like it's cross platform.

There's no such thing as strong typing. It's all just a bunch of 1s and 0s.

Wrong! Unless you are talking about how hard you hit the keys on your keyboard.

Errm - I'm not sure if you are being subtly ironic here, or you missed the joke icon on my post. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and go with subtly ironic.

What are you talking about?
If you are talking about variable type checking in C++, then you are wrong. I wish C was as tight with its type checking. Then again I wish C would allow me to declare a variable where ever I wanted too, instead of forcing me to create a new scope.
P.S. I liked C, but I love C++.

I prefer to have all the declarations in one place (the top) so in C# I still do that by choice.
But requiring such isn't very friendly, flexibility is good.

Same here, sure beats having to browse through the code looking for the declarations...

But you did know about the existence of the CTRL-F feature of your editor? Or (with any modern IDE) even the context menus 'Go to Declaration' feature? 
Failure is not an option - it's built right in.

But then you have to go back to where you were. Sure you could take note of the position but it would still be annoying.

Those points that are the hotspots of my current working are CTRL-F2-bookmarked anyway.
And if I only want to know the type of a variable, Intellisense would open that little tooltip for me.
I all boils down to being simply personal style, I guess.

I would agree.
I consider it good form to reduce as much as possible the scope of a variable. I do not want the IDE suggesting local variables that should not be used at that point.

in the old vb6 days ctrl-f2 used to take you to a definition and ctrl-shift-f2 used to take you back to where you were before.
I'm sure this must be implemented in .net but i've never found out how to do it. I used to use it all the time.

I agree requiring such is not varying friendly, and is a real pain int the <blank>.
Here are some thoughts to consider when writing you code.:
1) In C you can wrap a variable declaration in a scope and if that scope is not entered then no space is allocated on the stack for it (saves cycles and memory). This applies to languages other than C, including C#.
2) In C++ you can wrap a class (variable) declaration in a scope and if that scope is not entered then the constructor and destructor are not called.
