C# typing discipline is described by Wikipedia as: static, dynamic, strong, safe, nominative, partially inferred

What is the definition of typing discipline? What do those terms mean, and how do they connect to language?

Wikipedia's typing discipline relates to the type system employed by C# (just try clicking the link, it will lead you to the Type System article).

What they imply is as follows:

Static - At compilation time, the types are determined (the compiler wants to know the type before it runs)

Dynamic - Types are determined at runtime (in C#, this is made easier by the dynamic keyword, which was introduced in C# 4.0).

Safe - The language doesn't allow you to break any of the type rules. Without a cast declared, you can't add strings into a list of complex types, for example.

Powerful - Take a look at Eric Lippert's article on the subject rather than me trying to explain it.

Nominative - Type equivalence is determined by the type's name (what this means is that two types with the same fields but different names are treated as different types)

Partially inferred - During compile-time, the compiler can assume the type you're referring to (this is the var keyword in C#, which allows you to not define the type in your code, but it's still determined in a static and strong fashion at compile-time).
