My ELI5 for this has always been that static vs dynamic concerns variables; strong vs weak concerns objects.

- Static + Weak = C

- Static + Strong = Haskell

- Dynamic + Strong = Python

- Dynamic + Weak = JS

> strong vs weak concerns objects

and, in particular, explicit vs. implicit type casts of those objects.

But C and Haskell don't really have objects...
