From the very first paragraph:
In the experiments the existence of the static type system has neither a positive nor a negative impact on an application's development time (under the conditions of the experiment).
What's the point of dynamic languages if they don't even make the initial implementation faster? They're certainly harder to maintain afterwards.
- quadhome 14y agoFrom the conclusion: We measured two different points in the development: first, the development time until a minimal scanner has been implemented, and second the quality of the resulting software measured by the number of successful test cases fulfilled by the parser. In none of these measured points the use of a static type system turned out to have a successful impact. In the first case, the use of a statically typed programming language had a significant negative impact, in the latter one, no significant difference could be measured.
