Strongly Typed Languages

Programming languages vary in strength.

They also vary in how strongly types are treated.

Types can be thought of as boxes of information with labels on them telling us what type of box it is.

In a strongly typed language, this is a very serious contract that shall not be violated.

To that end, you can think of programming in a strongly typed compiled language as something like pair programming with the least fun lawyer your can imagine.

Joke as we will, there is a place in the world for strongly typed languages, as well as for lawyers.

One of the most strongly typed languages we can think of is C#. In C#, about everything is explicitly typed, and you have to convert everything fairly explicitly.

PowerShell is not a strongly typed language. Instead, it’s actually quite type promiscuous.
