> false distinction between static versus dynamic typing This is the Perl 6 view. See "Getting beyond static vs. dynamic" http://www.jnthn.net/papers/2015-fosdem-static-dynamic.pdf http://www.jnthn.net/papers/2015-fosdem-static-dynamic.pdf In Perl 6: > 1. A value. sub (\var) { say var } > 2. A number. sub (Numeric \var) { say var } > 3. A floating point number. sub (Num \var) { say var } > 4. A floating point number between 0.0 and 100.0. sub (Num \var where 0.0 .. 100.0) { say var } > 5. A floating point number between 0.0 and 100.0, and optimize for runtime performance instead of precision. sub (num \var where 0.0 .. 100.0) { say var } > Ada and Microsoft Visual Basic incorporate some elements of this concept but didn't take it far enough. Did they take it as far as Perl 6 per the above?
