No my experience hasn't changed, I've delivered solutions in multiple languages (with a majority of them in static languages) and am familiar with realities and cultures in each. I'm a proponent of technology and adopting the best language/tool for each use-case. I could list all the areas where dynamic > static and vice-versa but you're not interested in learning where they provide the most value so I wont bother. Using a single language/tool for everything is an inefficient use of developer resources. When I started out I also used to hold an affinity to my preferred language, but that eroded over time as I became aware of where my preferred language and ecosystem deficiencies and where their strengths lie, my primary concern is adopting the best technology that creates the most value with the least time and effort where I regularly use and explore different languages and frameworks to gain experience in them so I can identify their strengths, techniques, approaches and which areas they excel at.

An overwhelming majority of successful Startups do, you've yet to show any evidence suggesting otherwise, just biased hearsay. The most valuable Internet properties and successful startups are built on dynamic languages so your disparaging remarks suggesting they're "slow, unstable, drains your battery, is constantly offline, or has major security flaws" is a completely false straw-man that amateurs would say - those are not a function of language or in anyway represent the value created or talented engineers using them. If you actually believe this, it shows you don't have any first-hand knowledge or experience using them so I can only assume your remarks are used to reaffirm your own technology confirmation biases, either way that's how it comes across when delivered as a baseless slur. Personally I would've liked to see some examples and empirical evidence backing up your theories, because as it stands none of them hold any water.
- jjnoakes 9y agoYou continue to argue against points that were never made and you claim my position is something which it is not. At this point I have to assume you are doing it intentionally, but either way, I'm not interested in being misrepresented constantly.
