I know JavaScript is a very special boi but c’mon, you’re embarrassing me in front of the wizards.

    There’s a proliferation of dynamically and/or softly typed languages. There are very few, if any, truly untyped languages. (POSIX shells come close, though internally they have at least two types, strings and string-arrays, even if the array type isn’t directly usable without non-POSIX features.)

      Forth is arguably an example of a truly untyped language.

      TCL & CMake are fully stringly typed. Both pretty terrible languages (though TCL can at least claim to be a clever hack that was taken far too seriously).

        Oof, yeah, those count. The fact that CMake was best-in-class when I wrote C++ professionally was…awful.
