Be careful on your terminology here... Java has static typing (not strong), and Smalltalk has dynamic typing (not none).  (Flamefests have erupted on comp.lang.smalltalk in the past over this.)

For a language to truly have no typing, that would mean that you would not be able to determine the type of an object at compile time, nor at run time.
