Well, sure there is. Someone has to decide it's worthwhile to build it, then they have to build it, and polish it to a point where it's usable which generally means a community has to form around that tool.
Years of work.
Doesn't surprise me that people think it's more worthwhile to just use a statically-typed language.
- taeric 9y agoThat isn't stopping you from doing it. That is just making it more difficult. But, and this is my point, this was effort that had to happen in creating the static languages, too. Just now we locked out the benefits to existing problems to problems that are rewritten in the new languages. Contrast this with hardening existing codebases by running enhanced tooling against them.
