About this listen

There are a few misconceptions floating around when it comes to static typing vs. dynamic typing. Often, the difference is wrongly attributed to the way variables are allowed or disallowed to change their type on the fly. Sometimes, the difference is confused with type "strength".

In this episode we'll discuss the nature of types in programming languages, and learn why static/dynamic and strong/weak are different.
