- lvh 7y agoSo your argument is you need a language with static typing to prevent defects, but also the language must be proverbially this tall to ride, and so you end up with, say, Java?
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoYou need a language that isn't prone to foot bullets in long lived code that will pass through many developers with varying degrees of experience. Ada, Rust, Java would be suitable. I'm not a huge fan of any of these but they are better than winging it on duck typing for mission critical code.
