Static Typing vs Dynamic Typing
- Wikipedia Type System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_system
Dynamically typed languages are convenient, but certain types of errors cannot be caught until the program executes. For statically typed languages, many of these errors are caught at the compilation phase. On the downside, static languages usually comes with a great deal of ceremony around everything that happens in the program (heavy syntax, type annotations, complex type hierarchies).
Strong Typing vs Loose Typing

Duck Typing
Metaprogramming
Metaprogramming is writing code that manipulates other code, or even itself.
Functional Programming
Closures and recursion are at the base of the functional programming paradigm.
