So forgive jompe for using the wrong term. The point, however, was clear. It wasn't "strong vs weak"; the point clearly was "compile time vs run time". And, well, Python is, from jompe's perspective, on the wrong side of the line, no matter how "strong" Python's type system is.

There is nothing to forgive, many people conflate dynamic typing with weak typing, so I thought I would point it out.

Whether or not a specific method of typing is good or bad depends on the project and the developer(s) working on it. But if you're going to use that as a reason to make decisions, then you should understand the difference.

since python 3.6 you can use static types in python if you want.
