This whole discussion feels similar to the explicitly/implicitly typed discussion. Sometimes I get annoyed by writing more code in an explicitly typed language. But most of the time, especially when I get back to the project after it being inactive for a while, I am so happy with the more explicit version of my code.
- _asummers 10y agoI tend to agree, and fall into the camp of favoring static types. It's also extremely helpful when reading and debugging others' code bases. Having to construct systems of rules in your head sucks. Being able to follow the function calls and data around while validating assumptions with the REPL makes figuring external bugs out much easier.
