I love elixir. But the thing that keeps me coming back to Typescript is the ability to interchange dynamic and static types. Such a powerful pattern. I found dialyzer to be slow and unhelpful quite often.
- lawik 5y agoDialyzer certainly isn't a perfect solution for static checking. But it does provide some of that to a very dynamic language. So I find it a useful tool. Personally I'm not that keen on type-heavy programming. Do you have good examples of this mix from Typescript, I'd be curious to see what that can be like.

- bcrosby95 5y agoMy favorite are codebases whose type documentation is wrong. Such as the Java JPA+domain+webform god-type that will randomly have fields missing or unused based upon context, simply because people are too lazy to "document" another type.
- lawik 5y agoI'm aware the types are there. I can be more explicit if that was actually unclear. Static explicit typing often feels cunbersome to me. I gather you got my meaning but chose to make your point. But just in case.
