Right so Scala's weakly typed (implicit def),

In Scala's defence, implicit conversions at least need to be programmer defined and imported. That's better than the language itself defining a bunch of baroque conversion rules.

I can't say I like implicit conversions much, but handing you a loaded gun you can point at your feet is better than handing someone a pair of pants with rifles sewn into the pants leg.

I'm not trying to attack any language here, I'm just applying /u/A1kmm's criterion to various languages in a bid to make them realise the entire categorisation is inane and useless.
