OTOH, a good [weak] untyped language should accept a float where an int is expected as long as it has no fractional part (otherwise it should throw a runtime type error, not implicitly round). Depending on how weak the language is, it could also accept a string value, as long as it can be reliably parsed into an int (this assumes a canonical representation, e.g. "1.0"; obviously localized representations demand explicit parsing, e.g. "12,000,000.00").

A good rule of thumb, IMO, is: “If a value looks right, it generally† is.” This is particularly true in end-user languages where conceptual overheads need kept to a bare minimum. (Non-programmers have enough trouble with the “value” vs “variable” distinction without piling it with type concepts too.)

† Ideally this qualifier wouldn’t be needed, but there may be awkward corner cases where a simpler data type can be promoted to a more complex one without affecting its literal representation. That raises the problem of how to treat the latter when passed to an API that expects the former: throw a type error or break the “no lossy conversion” rule? There’s no easy answer to this. (Personally, I treat it as a type error, taking care in the error message to state the value’s expected vs actual type in addition to displaying the value itself.)
