Unfortunately, the words “strong” and “weak” often don’t mean anything more than: > Strong typing: A type system that I like and feel comfortable with > Weak

- Dewie 12y agoI agree to a degree, though some things are at least confined to a certain dimensions: like strong/weak typing. A continuum more than a binary distinction, but at least you can say things like "stronger" and "weaker" than something else. (Note that I wrote "weak type system", not "weak typing". "Weak" here is a just a generic adjective, and not meant to be precise.)
