Lack of strong-typing isn't something specific to TCL or rare at all. Python and JavaScript are weakly typed too.

- gugagore 7y agobut not everything is a string in Python and JavaScript. It's possible your parent didn't mean literally "strong typing" or even "static typing", but instead more generally "notions of types, whether at runtime or before".
- ghettoimp 7y agoYes exactly. TCL is somehow even more weakly typed than conventional dynamically typed languages. For instance, in Python, len(3) is an error, but in TCL, llength 3 is 1.
