What? A whole lot of web apps these days are built in Python, Ruby, or JavaScript, none of which are statically typed languages. Do you mean a strong type system?
- rubyn00bie 9y agoI assume mean strongly typed and I can agree with them to an extent. While it does add slight overhead when writing code (not enough to matter I think) it does help eliminate a bunch of errors/edge cases you'd have to unit test for in an dynamically typed language. Though as I always say: use the right tool for the job. And for a lot of jobs dynamically typed languages and framework offer a lot to the developer.
- deevus 9y agoThere's no concrete definition of strongly typed, either. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2690544/what-is-the-difference-between-a-strongly-typed-language-and-a-statically-typed https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2690544/what-is-the-diff...
