Can someone help me understand this joke? Strongly typed languages generally have way better IDE support so this doesn’t make much sense to me at all
The joke is taking “strongly typed” literally- by applying too much “strength” (force) physically on the keys and breaking the keyboards
Hey guys I think I might be stupid. Good lord, wow.
You and me both, I didn’t get it at all.
I feel stupid, too, but while I understood the part about strong=banging on the keys, but I have idea what a “strongly typed” language would be otherwise.
Edit: there is a helpful comment below. Thanks!
I thought it was because the protagonist isn’t familiar with strongly typed languages so that he get frustrated so much and he breaks his keyboards to let the rage out.
You are typing strongly, which breaks your keyboard.
Theyre just bad at programming
Turns out JS is strongly typed after all!
That’s also why I love duck typing but don’t find it practical. I can only have so much bread lying around.
Buy a Model-M and don’t look back. Things are built tough.
Plus vintage models were designed for folks that coded in C/C++. So you know they’re up to the task. ;)
The factory in Kentucky that used to make them was bought out by the employees when IBM stopped doing them and still makes new buckling-spring keyboards, so you can get new ones.
Called Unicomp.
They do have a nipple mouse variant (“EnduraPro”) with mouse buttons. I have one, and I don’t recommend that. The buckling spring keys are as good as the day I got it, but I eventually wore out the mouse buttons, and I’ve no idea whether they’ve moved to new switches for the mouse buttons.
Thanks for sharing the link, you’re a gem!
Using CamelCase or snake_case?

SQL won’t judge you.
I personally think this comic would have been a lot funnier if it had no caption
just a drawing of a bunch of broken keyboards? how are you supposed to make the connection?
Well, the title is “strongly typed”. Idk seems pretty obvious to me but maybe it isn’t
that’s the title of the post, the image doesn’t say it. and if it did it would’ve been a caption anyway
It’s literally the title of the comic, like if you click the link, that’s what the title of the comic is.
