I don’t think Rich was criticizing static types as much as saying that they aren’t giving you as much benefit as you think they are and that they complicate program evolution over time.
- ljm 1y agoI don't think static types (or lack thereof) complicate (or simplify) program evolution over time, bad architecture does.
- alternatex 1y agoStill quite the hot take.

- lenkite 1y agoThey might not give much execution benefit and they may indeed complicate program evolution, but they DO aid readability, document-ability and refactoring!
