6. It's still necessary (or at least a good idea) to write serialisation models for most statically typed languages as well. the difference is minor 7. It's a float, unless you made it a Decimal explicitly. Arguably that's the wrong default, but almost no languages default to arbitrary precision/size everything. No, C's type system is totally unsound. It fails to catch very bad errors (pointer-related issues, null-related issues, etc.) and is perfectly happy to implicitly cast left and right. It's little more than a hindrance.
