TYPE SYSTEMS

Statically Typed Languages​

Require variables to be explicitly defined with a type at compile time

  • Examples:
    • Java
    • C++
    • Rust
  • Benefits
    • Early error detection
    • Performance optimizations

Dynamically Typed Languages​

Determine variable types at runtime

  • Examples
    • Python
    • JavaScript
    • Ruby
  • Benefits
    • More flexibility
    • Faster prototyping
    • Less boilerplate code

Strongly Typed Languages​

Languages that enforce strict type rules and do not allow implicit type conversions

  • Examples:
    • Python (to some extent)
    • Haskell
  • Benefits
    • Reduces runtime errors
    • Can require more explicit code

Weakly Typed Languages​

Allow implicit type conversions and are more lenient with type rules

  • Examples:
    • JavaScript
    • PHP
  • Unexpected behavior
  • Allows for more flexible coding
