The industry has been moving steadily for many decades from unsafe technology to safer variants to increase reliability of increasingly mission critical systems. Typescript anyone?
This has been in response to the many high-profile failures that have been and are experienced routinely in the IT industry.
- hedora 5y agoStatically typed bash (whatever that means) would be awesome. Statically typed python would probably defeat the purpose of the language (just use java, etc.)
- digisign 5y agoIt's great when your prototype grew into a giant system with large teams of developers with mixed-experience. See pydantic etc.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoUgh no not java please. I'm so glad we're not having to deal with different components of major server systems requiring different JRE versions because backwards compatibility in Java is so absolutely horribly broken. And of course those different versions you installed in different places try to 'helpfully' find and upgrade each other causing the various components to break. Java was a nice idea with very poor execution. It's been surpassed by many other technologies now, even .NET does it better.
