Please excuse my ignorance, but what does mean "RB is strongly

This basically means that the programming language (i.e RB),
enforces the correct usage of datatypes, i.e you cannot assign a
sting value to an integer,
whereas PHP, Perl etc. is what is known as Loosely type, i.e
anything pretty much goes, and the engine does the hardwork for you.
Ah, well. This is indeed a great thing!
I remember when I was forced to use VisualBasic, at school, where you
could assign a boolean to an integer (e.g MyBoolean=3) and I thought
"What? This is not serious programming!". This was horrible!
Thanks for the answer._______________________________________________
