It's important to understand that object-oriented programming is
more about mindset than it is about any particular set of language
features.  In particular, OOP is not incompatible with strong type
checking, especially under the "majority" criterion.  There are
languages with classes and inheritance that also impose strict type
checking (OCaml is one example), which I think would get you the
property you want of catching most mistakes before run time.  I
don't mean to suggest that a combination "ideal OOP" and perfect
type checking is a solved problem, it isn't.  My sense though is
that languages that are available now can supply between 80 and 90
percent of both.  You might want to try looking into whether that
could do what you want.
