>Dynamic data structures in untyped languages are risky
What exactly do you mean by "untyped languages"? Python and every other high level language like it definitely has types. Maybe you meant "dynamically typed"?
- ppeetteerr 8y agoYeah, exactly.
- anonuser123456 8y ago'Dynamically typed' is a colloquial term for an untyped language.
- dangerbird2 8y agoIt's a snarl word for dynamically typed languages, to conflate strong, dynamic type systems like Python's with true untyped languages like Assembly, Forth, and BCPL.
- digitaLandscape 8y agoIt has types... which are rarely at runtime, when you typically just use an unchecked bag of key-value pairs. It's closer to getting a bag of bytes in assembly than it is to the behaviour you'd get in any actually-typed language. Nobody should be using such crap in 2018.
