I was about to comment about my personal experience, but realized the irony before posting. I won't say I'm convinced either way, but it's great to see some data enter the conversation.
- sago 11y agoYour irony meter is more sensitive than a large number of commenters who's responses are variants of "no, because... anecdote!" I agree, it is interesting to see data, though I struggle to design a study in my head for how to really show this either way. But... anecdote... it does amuse me how various languages claim to improve development time/safety/bug rates/cost, (OOP, Types, Functional, etc). But these big claims are not quite born out by companies investing in those languages wiping the floor with their competitors. If there really was a significant difference, I'd expect evolution to take its course.
- EvanPlaice 11y agoAttempting to argue with ideology is a self-defeating proposition. In the presence of 'belief' there is no room for reason. Which reminds me. I haven't seen Dogma in a while. Metatron is also one of my favorite roles played by alan Rickman. I guess I found my plans for this evening.
