In my opinion after years in the industry, the benefits of type safety are too compelling and well known, to the point that I don't even feel like debating it. It's not a fad that will change periodically.

- dragonwriter 5y agoIts a fad that has changed periodically, though I think the convergence of static and dynamically typed languages to include dynamic holes in the former and gradual typing or optional static typecheckers for the latter will continue to reduce the significance of the current state of the fad on language selection in practice. It probably won't reduce the intensity of the way a small minority of the community treats the language-level difference in holy wars, though.
