That's a false analogy.
CD's are not going to become popular again to listen to music because "pendulums swing".
When a trend is clearly going toward increased comfort or clear progress, there is only one direction that the trend is going.
I argue that statically typed languages are headed in that direction and that in ten, twenty years from now, dynamically typed languages will be looked at as "something that seemed like a good idea at the time".
- puredanger 8y ago"Increased comfort" and "clear progress" are subjective measures about which people may disagree (to whit, I disagree). I argue that in ten or twenty years from now, we will have great tools in dynamic languages to express constraints when needed, without requiring proofs. These are opinions, not facts.
- purple_ducks 8y agoIs there anything to capture (dev-)runtime data & generate specs from that as a starting point?
