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.

Sounds good! Just FWIW, I’ve gotten into trouble before making assumptions about operator behavior from how strongly typed I thought the language to be.
(E.g.: if you use Python 2, don’t think that the language’s weak typing entails that division of integers isn’t integer division!)

Fair enough, I don't know Python, but I guess you could have a language that is weakly typed in some sense and yet has that kind of behavior. In that case though, it would have helped me if I had immediately made the inference C++ is strongly typed -> it performs integer division

when you divide 2 integers (even if that doesn't follow), because I would have identified the cause of the problem much faster!
