Typing doesn't have to be static (or strong) to be there. When I write `a + b`, I intend `a` and `b` to be things such that the `+` operator makes sense for them. Might be two numbers, might be two strings, might be a string and a number if I'm using js/php, the point is that I always have an intention, implicit or explicit.
