C++ can be both, The type systenm is as fragila as you like it to be.
I mainlty use c++ when i the need stronger typing that Python och C
can't give me. In some ways it's even stronger types than languanges
as Java and ObjectiveC. C++ it however at least four different
languanges, in one ball of soupe.

And yes you can do it, that doesn't mean you have to dio it. As
_functions in python or __, you can use them from anyware, you don't
have to.
