I have. Multiple times.

You're not making your case, making me assume you don't have one.

Proof that the type system I'm talking about isn't weak, unlike the ones C and Go have.

I also don't appreciate being downvoted for having a pleasant discussion relevant to the topic.

You didn't use a single concrete example. Please show some Go code that demonstrates your point.

I didn't downvote you (I couldn't even if I wanted to, HN disallows it). But you have certainly not made this a pleasant conversation. Your comments aren't intelligible to me. I've asked for clarification and you haven't given it, which leads me to believe you aren't interested in a good conversation.

> Proof that the type system I'm talking about isn't weak

I never contested that.

> unlike the ones C and Go have.

The only claim I've made is that Go's type system is "strong." You have, not once, ever responded to this claim directly.
