strongly-typed

I am wondering if there are any strongly typed scripting languages. Python, JavaScript, etc. are great languages, but they are (to a certain degree) loosely typed. I am just wondering if anyone knows of any strongly typed scripting languages.

And by scripting, I mean a language whose interpreter can be embedded in a C++ application.
