- DoctorDabadedoo 5y agoNot at all, but having been on the "dynamically typed spaghetti code with very obscure paths/interactions and no test coverage" refactor wagon, I would take a statically typed option any day.
- cies 5y agoIndeed the quality to look for is strong typed, not statically typed. Strong typed code is much easier to refactor.
- renox 5y agoUnfortunately this requires some 'buy in' from the managers which means that many programs are integer/string typed instead of being strongly typed..
