"Strong" and "weak" typing aren't very well-defined terms, but according to most of the definitions on this page Go should probably count on the strong side. Go doesn't allow many implicit conversions, doesn't treat pointers as integers, doesn't have untagged unions AFAIK, and performs most type-checking at compile time, though using interface{} and reflection you can mess around with it.
