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

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.

Yes. Completely orthogonal.

Strongly typed dynamic: Python

Weakly typed dynamic: Javascript

Strongly typed static: Haskell

Weakly typed static: C
