I think this is a very bad place to learn programming, it does not enforce
strict type checking, etc...  A beginner needs to struggle with these
thing,  and then in more "loose" environments, he understands to police
himself.~

When I was first learning Pascal I asked my mentor why everything had to be
typed.  He replied with the old adage (new to me though), "Strict typing is
for weak minds." and just let it go at that.
