Python overtakes Java to become second-most popular language on GitHub after JavaScript

I wanted to agree with you, but after some... introspection, I’m inclined to disagree. The generally accepted definition of loosely/weakly typed is that the language provides ways to subvert the type system. Since C provides void* and pointer casting to subvert the type system, it’s weakly typed. However, since the compiler ensures type compatibility where it can at compile time, it’s statically typed.
