Weak vs strong typing is hardly "trivial"... it's the very foundation of a language.
Not trying to derail the convo or take sides, but one of these is not like the others ;)
Hardly anyone argues weak vs. strong types, the battle is primarily between dynamic vs static typing.
Vi vs Emancs? Weak vs strong typing?? tabs vs spaces??? where did you get those??
The ONLY holy war in JS is the semi-colon one
That's what OP is saying: programming has plenty of holy wars that predate JavaScript.

You are right, I misread his comment

Clearly you have never encountered the strange "comma first" brigade.

Au contraire, for a while I was one of them. But I think we were seen as too weird to even bother with a holy war

Though I don't see why this is a holy war in the first place. Clearly, no-semicolon is the only way to go.

[loads machine gun...]
We have a little more than vi and emacs these days as competition not two sided wars.

Sublime vs Atom if you prefer.
The point still stands
- Tabs vs spaces.
- Vi vs Emacs
- Weak vs strong typing
- where to place {} in block statements
- where to put commas
No, programming in general is susceptible to these trivial holy wars.
