I think most people have realised weak typing is not a good idea in programming languages. It’s especially not a good idea in databases.
- zaphar 6y agoMost people have not in fact realized weak typing is not a good idea. I myself vastly prefer strongly typed languages and think they are superior. However there are a huge number of people I work with and know professionally who prefer dynamically typed languages. Weak versus strong typing is a highly subjective opinion. Each one has different costs and benefits and which camp you land in depends in large part on what you value personally.
