strong typing

Grrrrrrr. (this term is ambiguous but still very popular for some reason https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_safety#Strong_and_weak_typing)

There are other well defined ways to describe a type system, such as:

  • Static vs dynamic
  • Implicit vs manifest

e.g.

  • Rust's is mostly static and sometimes optionally implicit
  • Haskell's is static and optionally implicit
  • Python's, Lua's, etc is dynamic and implicit
  • C's is static and manifest
