The same I'd say for dynamically typed languages (and their frameworks like Rails): initially works quite well until you hit the limits.
Once your app is big and there is a team, the efficiency dwindles. Refactoring becomes really hard. Unit test for the rescue, but they also take time to write.
- dustingetz 2y agoat some point we need to take a step back and acknowledge that programming is not solved, no kind of language works particularly well at scale. Companies have been buying their way out by growing revenue/cash more quickly than tech debt, and those that fail to do that, stagnate and die.
