This is the classic static vs dynamic typing question. Suffice to say, I don't think there is sufficient science or anecdata on the issue to really give a solid answer.
- stouset 8y agoI am a proponent of both static (Rust) and dynamic (Ruby) typing in programming languages. They both have their place, and if there are bugs you can always fix the code. The one place where I don’t think dynamic types have their place is in internal interchange formats. These can live forever, and they can change subtly over time. It’s the living forever part that changes the calculus.
