- Achshar 15y agoYou can say that this is more of a first world developer problem but i am still an ammature (as you might have guessed) and i have started to kind of dislike typed languages. i like my space and freedom to put text or integer or float or blob or raw binary data in a variable. because mostly it all ends to string, everything can be a string, numbers, floats, characters all of them. so why not make devs life easy by making everything a string?
- jebblue 15y agoBecause someone is paying for the code you write to do predictable things that they want.
- pabloPXL 15y agoBecause in strongly typed languages the compiler is able to hunt down the most of the bugs for you in milliseconds. That's why haskell programmers suggest that if a haskell program compiles gracefully, you can assume is mostly correct and bug free.
