Do we have actual studies about this? Does it take into account the cost of initial development? The cost of fixing bugs? The maintainability and the learning curve?
- agentultra 13y agoNot many that I'm aware of. One commentator on the answer on SO asked for references for the claim of a, "strong correlation," but none was given by the OP. The commentator produced one link that they're aware of.
- VeejayRampay 13y agoNot saying it's not true by the way. Even as a programmer that primarily uses a dynamic language (Ruby) I can totally see how types, a good compiler, enforced interfaces and more control mechanisms can benefit the development cycle, but in general, I tend to prefer hard cold facts and numbers over anything else.
