Everyone has something they can’t stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it’s hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!

    Oh! I know about data types a little already. Why are languages moving away from strict data typing? That’s very disappointing to hear. Which languages were you thinking about? Will they at least let you configure the compiler to use strict data types in the future?

      It’s the other way around, dynamic typing has been hyped in the last decades to years, but the industry is moving away from it, back to static typing :)

      Great examples are JavaScript and Python: both are fundamentally dynamically typed, but both have efforts to add static typing (TypeScript for JavaScript, and type hints for Python). So we’re slowly but surely rectifying these problems!
