Fixes #28

chucker commented 8 months ago

Unclear to me what Wikipedia means by "safe", and how to explain that in the enum. PowerShell is strongly-typed (and safe in that respect), but it's also dynamic. What is the additional safety?

ricardoboss commented 8 months ago

As I understand it: safe means that a programming language implementation checks types of values before they are used to operate on. This can be static (in compiled languages, like C) or dynamically at runtime (in interpreted languages, like PHP).

I don't know of any languages that are not safe, at least if they are either interpreted or compiled, as opposed to languages like HTML or CSS.

I guess Assembly, maybe.
