        Because you are embarrassing yourself and noone has been kind enough to explain: the difference is that JavaScript will let you do: var x = 1 + "foo" and coerce the types, in python that’s an error.

        Untyped python lets a name refer to different types over its lifetime (dynamic typing) but will not automatically convert types (which would be weak typing)

          It was just a joke, chill out. Someone mentioned python so I made a joke about python. I have never used Javascript, and I have no desire too.

          Fucking programmers sometimes…ya’ll take this stuff way too seriously.

              So chill that you felt the need to explain programming to me. If you didn’t care, you could have just moved on with your life, and scrolled past my comment.

                  Ahh, so you want to feel superior. Got it. I have been programming for 17 years for the record. I don’t need you to explain programming to me. I just don’t make it my personality bcz I’m not just a programmer.
