The parent was looking for evidence for why someone could write tests easier with dynamic languages. A long waiting time for type checking to finish came to my mind first. I think hello world is a valid example when talking about unit tests.
- the_af 3y agoI don't think Hello World is a good example for anything; all you can do with it is microbenchmark, which is not particularly interesting. There are also no meaningful unit tests to write with Hello World. With tiny examples, compile/tooling times tend to dominate. More interesting would be a larger, non-toy prototype, where the tests and prototyping effort are meaningful.
