You say 70% of jobs are C#/Java. These are statically typed languages. And they are not hipster. So I guess you kind of agree with the parent comment?

- jaabe 8y agoMaybe, I’m not personally opinionated in either direction. We use more and more JS and Python in our shop, and we have had no issues with dynamic types. On the other hand, that’s very likely because every one of us had been doing either JAVA or C# for 15+ years before we started doing anything serious in dynamic languages. So from a technical perspective I think dynamic languages are equal, maybe even better. From a management perspective though, you have to consider what happens when you hire a developer who didn’t grow up with static types.
