They way you'd build large systems in dynamic languages is to break it up into many smaller pieces that work together. This frees you to change parts without worrying about the rest.
To me, this type of development is much more natural and sane than the "one big clusterfuck" type of projects I've seen in Java et.al.
Edit: Also, dynamic languages let you make the tradeof between safety and speed. Sometimes you go slow and steady (simple code, tests..) and sometimes you just want to test something out.
- mattquiros 13y agoHm, I don't know what you've seen but I'm pretty sure Java is about breaking up large systems into many smaller pieces that work together, instead of one big clusterfuck. Must be some really badly designed system, more of a programmer's fault than the language itself
- gizzlon 13y agoTrue, but isn't it still one big program/project? What I mean was to break it up into many smaller programs and (possibly) projects (think unix process vs. classes =)
