Java and .NET are the only strongly typed languages used heavily as a web backend. Python, PHP, Ruby, and Node.js are all weakly typed.

  Yeah this strikes me as the usual "language X sucks, because dynamic languages suck".

    Not really, scripting has it's good uses. It's just wrong to use scripts to replace programming languages for all tasks.

      A "scripting language" is a programming language. "Scripting" is a completely useless description, and is usually used to stoke a flamewar.

  You are confusing dynamic/static vs strong/weak typing.

  I think python & ruby are considered strongly typed, whereas javascript is weakly typed. strong/weak usually refers to implicit conversion or not.
