Yes everything is a string on the web, but IMO it&#x27;s not the primitive data types that I&#x27;m concerned about so much - it&#x27;s about the data structure (classes &#x2F; interfaces). If I refer to my item&#x27;s description property as `item.descripition`, statically typed language will scream that I have mistyped the property name before letting me run that code or, God forbid, releasing it.
