virusfree tells us about a new algorithm that has been developed that the author claims can sort a linked list up to 10 times faster than MergeSort. "BitFast," a member of the Hash algorithms family, is available in C and C++ under the GPL.

You can, but what advantage is there? code in implicity typed languages (which includes the dynamically typed languages) is just as easy (if not easier to read). Eg: foo = 5.0f; bar = 18; baz = "what"; Would the "float", "int" and "String" types really added much to the understanding of the program?
