I don't understand, why are you guessing? Do you mean the parent objects of things you've written? Like ActiveRecord, etc. I would think that mental overhead is the same in any web+CRUD+ORM type of framework.
- hu3 3y agoI guess what your parent poster is saying is that: without types, all you have is the variable name to guess what it does. IDEs help but there's only so much they can do.
- wg0 3y agoYes that's what I meant. All you have is a variable and IDEs can't figure it all if there's no type on it. Not just that, let's say even if type is known but some of the methods are generated on runtime than IDE has no idea about it.
- mattbrewsbytes 3y agoThat’s not unique to Ruby though, I imagine most dynamic languages fall into this bucket.
- wg0 3y agoExactly, they do including JavaScript.
