Read the whole thing, top to bottom. Just one question. Why does he
totally ignore the subject of generic programming, type computing,
template metaprogramming, concept checking, traits, policies, and all
of the other compile-time features of C++ which could be viewed as a
form of weak typing? The STL even uses the notion of concepts:
anything that meets the requirements for a particular concept can be
used in a sequence, algorithm, iterator, view, whatever.
