Weakly Typed Languages vs Type Safety
Developers should learn about weakly typed languages when working with scripting languages like JavaScript or PHP, as it helps understand dynamic behavior, rapid prototyping, and flexibility in web development meets developers should prioritize type safety when building large-scale, maintainable applications where catching errors early is critical, such as in enterprise software, financial systems, or safety-critical domains. Here's our take.
