He is right. Implying that Webassembly is strongly typed is garbage and tells much about the rest of the content.

Why is that garbage?

Is this maybe something with academic definition of strongly typed?

Because the way I understand Webassembly, it surely is strongly typed.

edit:

"Strongly typed is a concept used to refer to a programming language that enforces strict restrictions on intermixing of values with differing data types."

Seems to back me up.

this is nonsense. WebAssembly is strongly typed.

either you don't understand type systems, or you don't understand WebAssembly. in either case, I can encourage reading the article, because it sheds some light on both topics!
