Javascript has weaker typing than PHP (in php you can have typed parameters for object parameters), but javascript is the new hotness and php gets no love. Typing is not the issue that makes php so ugly. Also, i write php all day and i almost never run into bugs due to typing. You adopt some habits like always casting before use, and use an ide that warns you when you're doing stuff like using uninitialized variables (phpstorm is awesome), and the whole issue goes away for 95%. I'm not saying it doesn't cause bugs, just that i've found it to not be that big of a deal.
