strong typing

Some people use the term "strong typing" to refer to certain aspects of type safety.

The latter allows the enforcing strong typing onto union variables.

Strong typing offers more safety, but cannot guarantee complete type safety.

Do beginners benefit from strong typing?

Type safety and "strong typing"

Strong typing prevents the above.

Script language is type safe (strongly typed): strong typing is a luxury not available for the most of the scripting languages.

The type system of XPath 2.0 is noteworthy for the fact that it mixes strong typing and weak typing within a single language.

Substantial performance speed-ups over standard APL have been reported, especially when (optional) strong typing of function arguments is used.

(strong typing).

For this reason, writers who wish to write unambiguously about type systems often eschew the term "strong typing" in favor of specific expressions such as "type safety".

XSLT 2.0, in particular, has been heavily influenced by XQuery in its move to strong typing and schema-awareness.

First released in 1985, the Rational Environment was an integrated development environment for the Ada programming language, which provided good support for abstraction through strong typing.

The initial opinion is that bringing strong typing, IntelliSense, code completion and code refactoring on other IDEs may not be a small task.

To make this possible and meaningful, Pascal has a strong typing on all objects, which means that one type of data cannot be converted or interpreted as another without explicit conversions.

At first, the class, derived class, strong typing, inlining, and default argument features were added to C via Stroustrup's C++ to C compiler, Cfront.

In a strongly-typed language, type errors are also a form of syntax error which is generally determined at the contextual analysis stage, and this is considered a strength of strong typing.

The adherence to strong typing allows detection of many common software errors (wrong parameters, range violations, invalid references, mismatched types, etc.) either during compile-time, or otherwise during run-time.

There has been some criticism concerning the idea that even if TypeScript encourages Strong typing, currently Microsoft Visual Studio is the only tool enabling easy development in the language.

Notable features of Ada include: strong typing, modularity mechanisms (packages), run-time checking, parallel processing (tasks, synchronous Message passing, protected objects, and nondeterministic select statements), exception handling, and generics.

It's a thread-capable, embeddable, weakly typed language with optional strong typing and procedural and object-oriented features designed for anything from quick scripting to complex multithreaded, network-aware application development to embedded application scripting.

To overcome a conflict between strong typing and iterative development that produced recompilation times proportional to system size rather than size-of-change, the Rational Environment supported the definition of subsystems with explicit architectural imports and exports; this mechanism later proved useful in protecting application architectures from inadvertent degradation.

The key feature was the language's support for a "second chance" method in all classes; if a method call on an object failed because the object didn't support it (normally not allowed in most languages due to strong typing), the runtime would then bundle the message into a compact format and pass it back into the object's method.
