For what it's worth, while I don't really disagree, Erlang's pattern matching is very powerful and covers a lot of the same ground as static typing.
Erlang is not in my opinion a “dynamic language gets us going fast” language. It's a language specifically designed to handle large scale reliably for long periods of time.
- zaphar 8y agoI think Erlang and possibly Elixir get about as close as you can get to having a rock solid reliable service in a dynamic language. Largely due to the pattern matching and the emphasis on coding the happy path and letting the non-happy path crash with a supervisor restarting it and logging the crashes for later analysis. You will get a lot of milage out the Erlang ecosystem.
