In my experience with Ruby development (2 years), I have never, ever experienced a single issue caused by duck typing. Static typing is great for performance, but it has nothing to do with being able to maintain a project.
- etrain 15y agoHave you worked with more than 5 developers on a rails project? I ask because all the problems I've had with dick typing appear around interfaces between code from 2 programmers, and 5 seems to be the threshold where communication starts to break down.
- phillmv 15y agoWhat kind of problems do you genuinely have with a dynamic language/duck typing? Like, that you've actually experienced and said "You know, I'm not saying this just because I'm not used to it. This bit right here is a design flaw". This is such a tired and boring argument by this point, but I'm willing to entertain it because duck typing is at the bottom of my list of worries.
