Swap strong/weak typing for static/dynamic typing.
This is as pedantic as nits get, but according to Wikipedia, strong/weak
typing doesn't have a precise definition, whereas static/dynamic typing
is clearly defined. We might as well refer to the clearly-defined
concepts here.
Anecdotally, I've heard "strong/weak" used to refer to a language's
willingness to do implicit coersions. E.g., `1 + "1"` is valid in
JavaScript, but invalid in Python; so Python is more strongly-typed than
JavaScript, even though both are dynamically-typed (ignoring the new
optional type annotations in Python, and Closure-flavored JavaScript).
