GvR: Strong vs. Weak Typing.

Guido van Rossum: Strong versus Weak Typing:

Strong typing is one reason that languages like C++ and Java require more finger typing. You have to declare all your variables and you have to do a lot of work just to make the compiler happy.

[Keith's Weblog]

I'm sorry, but I can't sympathise with someone who is too lazy to declare variables. Period.

The disgust with excess typing I can understand. I feel your pain. I don't want to worry about the type of a variable on every statement but omitting variable declarations is without excuse.
