I know people mean different things when they say this but Elixir is strongly typed in that it doesn't auto-cast. Furthermore, it goes farther than most languages in that it doesn't overload many operators. For example, string concatenation is done with `<>`, not `+`. This rules out many of those "subtle bugs" you would get in many other dynamic langues. For instance: `def compound_word(left, right), do: left <> right`. Even though there are no types specified (or even patterns of guards) this function can only every succeed with strings. Yes, it's still dynamic and will only be caught at runtime, but there are things about Elixir that make it a really nice dynamic language.
