| Mar 25, 2015 at 10:17 | comment | added | Cornel Masson | @StevenBurnap: I couldn't agree more regarding the difference between static and strict. Java is another point on the spectrum, being static and too strict. Developers often berate static typing using Java as example, but much of that criticism should actually be directed at Java's overly-strict compiler, not static typing in general. Just look at Scala on the same JVM, which is statically typed, but has much less verbose code due to the fantastic compiler's type-inferencing abilities. | |

| Aug 24, 2013 at 17:24 | comment | added | user53141 | Strict type checking and static type checking aren't the same thing. Python is dynamically typed, but is more strict than C. The advantage of static type checking isn't strictness per se but that types are checked at build time, not run time. I've dealt with many C/C++ issues in my career because of implicit casting. | |
