I've been coding for forty years and I'm not going to go anywhere near a dynamically typed language ever again for any job bigger than a ten-line bash script.

- jernfrost 9y agoWhich dynamic language did you use? Like statically typed languages there is a huge variety. I don't group languages whether I like them based on whether they are static or dynamic. I hate JavaScript, PHP and Perl which are all dynamic. While I like Python, Lua and Julia. But I also like static languages such as Swift and Go. I have a certain fascination for Haskell, but I can't be bothered to invest the time to get any good at it. Which kind of suggest to me that Haskell is a dead end. If programming language geeks like me can't invest the time, why would the average developer ever bother. My work language is C++, which I actively hate, but I can stomach it because we work on interesting software.
- christophilus 9y agoI've been programming for close to 20 years. I hate dynamic languages. Except Clojure. If you enjoy programming, and you ignore Clojure, you're missing out on a fun and interesting language.
