I think he means dynamically typed languages. An example of partially
weakly typed language is C.
I made the same exact point while reviewing! I'm not sure why he stuck
with the "weakly" misnomer. Here's my comment:
===========
"weakly typed languages" -> "dynamically typed languages" throughout
(just to avoid antagonizing anyone gratuitously, plus it's more correct
as C is weakly typed but can't detect type errors).
===========
For example Python3 is almost as strongly
typed as D.
Concepts do introduce a lot of complexity into the language but
they reduce and organize the complexity of programs.<
There are features more important for library developers and other
features that are enough for application writers.
Yah, though I pointed out that dedicating too complex features to the
very few is an indication that something has gone wrong in the design of
the language. It's the beauty-of-the-part at the expense of the whole
fallacy.
