If you want to write unsafe and non-correct programs that has a lot of
bugs and crash a lot, strong typed languages would not be the right
choice for you. A weak typed language would be much more cost efficient
to use to write such a program. For one the compilor of a weak typed
language would pass a lot more bugs at compiletime.
At least one cost/benefit of strong typing is that you save a lot of
time chasing odd bugs with your debugger. The compiler has a lot more
information to go on in order to track down bugs. Therefore it will be
able to tell you about them when you compile.
But I guess you are not looking for this either. So please sit down
think about it and come with a question that is such that we can
understand what it is that you are asking.
