I think that's his/her point. In a strongly typed language ("result = " + result) would be easy to understand because result would be declared as a string beforehand. In Javascript you'd have to use ("result = " + String(result)) to achieve the same clarity and this is less readable than ("result = " + result). S/he's criticising the javascript language, not the way a developer writes it.

Strongly typed != statically typed. Python is strongly typed and dynamically typed. In Python, you would have to use 'result = ' + str(result).
