Web consists of bytestreams, not strings. Somewhere in your pipeline you have bytestream-to-string, if you don't do that correctly you will either have data loss, injection or xss, true for every language.

It is true that some languages makes it easier to go bytestream-to-string than others, but I can do all of that in PHP by creating my own types too.

Web consists of voltage fluctuations, not bitstreams. Somewhere in your pipeline you have voltage-fluctuations-to-bitstreams, if you don't do that correctly you will either have data loss, injection or xss, true for every language.

Web consists of excitations of the electromagnetic field, not voltage fluctuations. Somewhere in your pipeline you have excitations-of-the-electromagnetic-field-to-voltage-fluctuation, if you don't do that correctly you will either have data loss, injection or xss, true for every language.

Web consists of entanglement of energy quanta, not excitations of the electromagnetic field. Somewhere in your pipeline you have entaglement-of-energy-quanta-to-excitations-of-the-electromagnetic-field, if you don't do that correctly you will either have data loss, injection or xss, true for every language.

Nice to see that you agree with me that the web does not consist of proper types and you as a programmer must make that choice. You have your custom library that makes this happen and that is something you and your team has implemented.
