Perl, Javascript and such awesomely practical languages* are weakly
typed... but not all higher level languages are weakly typed. Ex: Go,
Haskell, etc.,

I would say it depends on what you would call `coding`. Well I remember
incredible fascination when a 3 line BASIC program could generate
multiplication tables. I was 10 then and it was on a Spectrum ZX computer
connected to the TV.  What got me even more excited was assigning a sound
note to each key.

...and I assume a 6 year old today is way more informed/exposed/intelligent
than a 10 year old 25 years back :)

a+b is what the calculator does for her. I am sure printing her name or her
friend's name 1 times on the screen is way more interesting.

And as a general reply, I am NOT trying to force my kid to do anything. I
have a feeling she might be good at it. So I want to gauge her interest and
if she likes it, I would provide the tools for her to pursue it. ...Before
the school curriculum in computing can spoil it forever.
