Javascript is not untyped; it's dynamically typed.
- IshKebab 1y agoIn this context untyped means that it is dynamically typed and doesn't have static type hints. It's a fairly new word but I've seen it used enough and the meaning is obvious enough that I don't think you need to pedantically correct it.
- LAC-Tech 1y agoI think if you want to talk about typing disciplines, and their trade offs, it's helpful to get basic definitions correct. If I wrote something and I made a mistake like this I would hope someone would correct me.
- IshKebab 1y agoIt is correct. It's just a new term you're not familiar with.

- IshKebab 1y agoLanguage changes. That's just a fact. Sorry you can't deal with it. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=untyped&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
