You gave the same link for the first two studies you mention. Also, it's pretty easy to detect the author's heavy bias against type systems just from a quick perusal of the first page. The methodology used is extremely questionable, not to mention that he doesn't even consider languages with type inference.
- Morgawr 13y agoWhoops! Sorry, you're correct. I apologize for the wrong link (fixed now). And yeah, I agree that some studies are a bit biased (it's hard to find objective studies with a proper applied method). I just wanted to share some findings that might have been interesting to the reader and let him/her take home his/her own considerations on the matter. Entirely agree with you though.
- Sssnake 13y agoNot just biased, but also quite ignorant: >No-such-method exceptions mainly occur because of null-pointer exceptions (which occur in typed programming languages as well) Null is a solved problem. Completely and totally solved. The fact that he didn't know this is pretty amazing.
