Can someone help me understand this joke? Strongly typed languages generally have way better IDE support so this doesn’t make much sense to me at all

The joke is taking “strongly typed” literally- by applying too much “strength” (force) physically on the keys and breaking the keyboards

Hey guys I think I might be stupid. Good lord, wow.

You and me both, I didn't get it at all.

I feel stupid, too, but while I understood the part about strong=banging on the keys, but I have idea what a "strongly typed" language would be otherwise.

Edit: there is a helpful comment below. Thanks!

I thought it was because the protagonist isn't familiar with strongly typed languages so that he get frustrated so much and he breaks his keyboards to let the rage out.
