That feeling when you haven't used a strongly typed language in years and you end up wasting several hours because you had forgotten that C++ performs integer division when you divide 2 integers.

I'm using C++ to write a specific routine that is very computationally intensive because I can interface with R thanks to Rcpp and C++ is definitely more strongly typed than R.
Kudos to you for doing quantitative work, really. I'll bet you a dollar a pair of professional eyes could help (and I'm willing to be those eyes). And yes, I agree with your last claim, but it doesn't make C++ "strongly typed."

The routine itself is not very complicated, just computationally demanding, so what I could have used help with is Rcpp and RcppArmadillo, but it's working now so it's all good. As for whether C++ is "strongly typed", my impression is that there is no universally accepted

definition of this concept and that different people use it differently. But whatever I'm not hung up on the terminology, what I meant is just that C++ is strongly typed enough that the sort of things I described in my tweet can happen. In any case, I'll publish my code along
