I might very well be unreasonable, but I've seen too many discussions
of "strong" & "weak" typing degenerate into uselessness (all of them,
really) to still consider them worth having, or still consider the
concept of weak/strong typing worth talking about until somebody comes
up with a precise and formal taxonomy which people will be able to use
when discussing the matter.
Until then, discussion on the subject will be as enlightening and
relevant as discussing which of hydrogen plasma and U-235 tastes the
best.
