Type checking has nothing to do with flexibility of UI. If anything, type checking improves your ability to iterate UI, because you can change things with more confidence that nothing is broken.
- runawaybottle 6y agoI disagree. Your type checking systems can strangulate code bases. If we can’t move through the code quickly and change things quickly, you hamper us. More serious question for you: Why do interpreted languages exist? What are one of the things they shed? Why’d they get popular? Why’d people find a way to move fast in them? I guess my vigilance is basically this, I’m the guy before you all turn JavaScript into what the OP is describing as the monstrosity that c++ is. Explain why that won’t happen the same way I guess, since we’re all smart, and students of history. We have something to protect here too. We built the stuff you guys couldn’t, but you know better apparently now. I’m your ghost of Christmas past.
