Made the title a little bit clear
  • Do typeless programming languages really exist?

Do typeless programming languages really exist?
I have read that several programming languages, listed below are typeless:

* Forth
* Brainfuck
* B
* MUMPS
* BLISS
* Lucid
* BCPL

I have shared this data with a programmer who clued that such languages don't lack a type, rather, they lack a type system; they have **one type** which is _byte size per ASCII character_ with which one could create data types (I guess he meant --- as we know them from say, JavaScript).

Do typeless programming languages really exist?
