Just wanted to point out, Gosu [1] is statically typed language 
(compiled to a JVM bytecode) with type inference, where one could write:

function foobar (a : int, b : String) {
    var x = a + b.length();
    var y = 1.3 * x;

The difference with the previously given example seems one still 
needs variable declaration (using the 'var' keyword).

While 'double' and 'int' are short enough, with Gosu one could just 
write:

   var a = new MyVeryLongClassName<Foo,BarBaz>();

which appears even better than the Java 7 <> (diamond) operator. 
Note Gosu supports explicit variable type declarations, also.
