C, JavaScript, PHP, lisp...

There are many popular and weakly typed languages in use today.

JS is strongly typed, not sure about PHP but I don't think so. lisp is not a language, it's a family of languages

Again, not sure about PHP. But no, JS is strongly typed. What you've shown there is coercion, not type-punning or anything of the sort.
