Comment on The abject failure of weak typingparent

Comments

"Weak" and "strong" are not well-defined terms, and you'll find different defs around the place.

I deliberately used "weak" in the title as a loose umbrella term for the sundry malpractices detailed below. The article is hopefully otherwise quite specific.

In particular, by "types", I always mean "static types" or "propositions". What you mean mean by "dynamic types", I call "tags"; they are not the topic of the article. These usages are standard, if not universally adhered to; I hope I made this clear in the article.
