You are going to be lectured at length by the (OOP) static types crowd. And they have a point about using explicit types, when it's easy.
That said, I wish the "strong types" crowd would take a look at all of the temporal coupling that their OOP designs are causing, with their update-at-will practices. Now that we have working garbage collector software plus adequate hardware support, why not make use of that?
FP needs to become a more widely used practice.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoLanguages like PreScheme compile to C with no GC. You manage memory manually. So there's those kind of systems too.
- jghn 10y agoSome of the largest "strong types" advocates are FP folks
- Roboprog 10y agoSome are, some aren't :-) Some are just lost if autocomplete in the IDE doesn't enter stuff for them, and the more verbosely the IDE spews, the better, cuz it looks like "work".
- cygned 10y agoI think, a "Data Driven Development" approach would make a lot of implementations easier. Something as described in this talk: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Tb823aqgX_0 https://youtube.com/watch?v=Tb823aqgX_0
