They are not the same, at least according to the definitions I'm familiar with.

Static/dynamic is whether type checking is done at compile time or run type.

Strong/weak is how flexible the language is with type conversion.

Are these dimensions orthogonal though? For example is there any Strongly typed dynamic language?

[elbear]

Python is considered strongly typed, but usually it's placed in opposition with PHP or JavaScript. That's why I don't understand why the previous poster used strongly typed. The conversation was about static and dynamic programming languages.

[rowanG077]

Yes. Completely orthogonal.

Strongly typed dynamic: Python

Weakly typed dynamic: Javascript

Strongly typed static: Haskell

Weakly typed static: C

I think Python is mentioned as the usual example.

[JAlexoid]

Static vs dynamic is not for type checking, it's about conversion.

As in:

Static typing - 1 == "1" is false (Python style, integer isn't converted to string for comparison)

Dynamic typing - 1 == "1" is true (PHP style, integer or string may be converted)

Where are you getting your definitions from? What you posted is what I understand to be weak vs strong.

Barbara Liskov defines strong typing as a compiler feature that prevents wrong type usage.
