Swift is a type-safe, statically typed language, meaning that each value has a type and the compiler performs type checking at compile time. Your code won't compile if it contains type errors. The benefit is that common bugs are caught early by the compiler. Swift's type system is strict and that also has its drawbacks. It makes the language less dynamic compared to other languages you may be familiar with, such as Ruby and JavaScript.
