What the point of static analysis for dynamic language?
>being run by a specific binary
That's a not so appealing argument in particular case of Perl which level of reverse compatibility is hard to beat.
- ionforce 13y agoStatic analysis aids in finding common errors earlier in the development process. Also, what does reverse compatibility have to do with ease of parsing?
- snaky 13y agoGenerally speaking, static analysis is sometimes helpful for finding simple errors, yes. But how it's applicable to dynamic language like Perl? So, whether ease of parsing is a goal per se, or serve some purpose - what such a purpose can be in particular case of Perl?
