I’m kind of a beginner… Can someone explain why you would make/use/have a dynamically and/or weak typed language? Is it just to not write some toInteger / as u64 / try_from()? I mean the drawbacks seem to outweigh the benefits…

They used to be more attractive around the 2000s, before type inference became commonplace and when IDEs/editors were still a lot less powerful.

As for making a dynamically typed language, to my knowledge, they are actually easier to create than statically typed languages…
