- jameslk 9y agoTypeScript brings static type analysis to JavaScript, not strong typing. I'm not sure what you mean by PHP 7's "strictly typed style" but I assume you mean its type annotations, which it's had since PHP 5. Those are neither a case of strong typing (PHP is duck typed) nor static typing (since it's evaluated at runtime).
