Please excuse my ignorance, but what does mean "RB is strongly typed"?
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.
Hopefully, "RB is strongly typed".
That said, auto coercion is good too (and I like it even when I have to write it
explicitely: "stringVar = (IntegerVar as string)" ).
Cheers,
Emile
