The question is more: would writing these apps in a statically typed languages have been "better" along certain axes (easier to maintain, easier to write, easier to evolve, easier to debug, faster to ship, easier to recruit for, easier to ramp up newcomers on the team, etc...).
- Touche 11y agoYou said that it "quickly crumbles". What exactly does that mean? Sounds like you are softening your stance now, so why even so something so definitive?
- incepted 11y agoBecause automatic refactoring tools are not available for dynamically typed languages, programmers are more hesitant refactorings. So the technical debt accumulates and the code gets worse because of that death spiral. That's what I mean when I said that dynamically typed languages crumble under large code bases.
