To be clear I’m saying that static typing makes things more complex.
If the original simple argument were true, then everyone would introduce static typing, it would be a no-brainer.
- hderms 6y agoThere's a certain size threshold for applications where a statically typed language becomes extremely valuable. Static proofs that things are "connected" properly become very valuable, even if, as you say, the benefits aren't universal. Constraints sometimes simplify things, sometimes they increase complexity, but it's hard to argue that large systems with many authors would be universally better if they were unable to use static types to constrain programs.
