"bad" only theoretically and just different from
strongly-typed languages. I like its "inconsistent" function names - for a
lot of functions they're similar to C and in most cases they're very easy to
remember, as opposed to some other languages, including python (!!).
For a lot of C functions from vastly different libraries; there is
nothing in the PHP library functions that make them easy to remember,
I often had to look them up.
And my main idea is that only a statically typed
should try to be strict.
And python very oddly tries to be strict in some places while being
dynamically typed. Look, it doesn't concatenate string and long - even Java
does that!
You are confusing two kinds of type languages; Java is strongly
strict, while Python is strongly dynamic.
