Opinion: people don't actually need rigorus typing system, what they need:
1. preven type/interface errors at runtime.
2. get auto-complete for unfamiliar objects or function signature.
- tremon 4y agoThat's true, people don't need rigorous typing systems. However, 1. the way to verify types before deployment is usually through a rigorous type system. 2. auto-completion of type signatures is massively easier if the language has a rigorous type system. It's the tools that people use that need a type system, not the people themselves.
- The_Colonel 4y agoSure, but the experience tells us that the best way to achieve these goals is through a rigorous type system.
- thfuran 4y agoWhat do you think solves those better than a type system?
