You are correct my comment did not make sense.

What I meant was that types may be inferred but that is not the same as dynamic typing.

"Strictness" when applied to types usually refers to the existence of implicit type conversions.

Overall, "strictness" is a really bad word to use, because it has thousands of different meanings. But on the context of types, I don't know of any better synonym.

> Haskell has a static type system. "Strictness" in PL theory usually refers to an eager evaluation strategy.

Ah yep. Meant static there and fumbled my words. That's what I get for browsing HN first thing in the morning before coffee.
