It sure does. Perhaps you should try it?
- atan2 5y agoSure, that would be the right approach I guess, but I think the whole point is trying to foresee benefits/problems before wasting time.
- yakshaving_jgt 5y agoI'm of the opinion that trying it out for yourself is not a waste of time. I'm sure several other commenters share that opinion, and I'm sure several others do not. The tone of the original question reads to me as though the asker is asking to be convinced by evangelists to give the technology a chance. Ultimately though, just listing technical benefits of the language is unlikely to be as effective as one might rationally expect, given that humans — which certainly includes programmers — are less rational than they would like to admit.
