In my head I had conflated duck and weak typing. I’m not an oop programmer (tbh I’m not much of a programmer to begin with) and since what Python does e.g. with file handles is closer to say in Haskell making a wrapper
DataStream x -> FileHandle x
Where like implementing the read/write/open etc methods are equivalent to implementing the function mappings.
Which is very different from say JS “Herr durr I’m going to cast an int to a string and then error” I assumed the latter was “duck typing”
I don’t know enough Haskell to tell you whether you’re right about that or not (read: I know literally zero Haskell) but that sounds vaguely correct. That said, JavaScript is strongly and dynamically typed as well – it’s just a lot more lenient with implicit type conversions than Python is because of obscure 90s bullshit.
Also: don’t let anyone tell you you’re not a real programmer. If you even know what Haskell is, you’ve more than passed my bar.
Yeah I guess I should think before I say shit.
You’re right.
Thank you for acknowledging that. I’d also like to say for the record that you were literally one word off from being correct.
