in reply to Perl 6: Static/Dynamic Strong/Weak Type Systems
As far as I've been able to determine, the only way to use the terms "strong", "weak", "static", and "dynamic" in relation to typing is something like this:
I think that dynamic typing can be split into two subcategories as well — duck typing and . . . whatever the converse dynamic typing category would be called.
This raises a question, though. What do we do with a language like Objective C? It looks to me somewhat like it's both a duck typed language and a static, weakly typed language. Of course, I could just be wrong about the whole thing.
