But you can also provide static type information for the variables referring to your objects; the compiler can sanity-check them at compile time, without constraining runtime behavior. Xcode on Mac OS X can also use them to provide method completion lists and such. It's effectively similar to Smalltalk with an optional and non-binding type syntax.
