I'd say having automatic compile-time checks and vs having to be "extra careful" + necessity for more umit tests is a world of difference.
AFAIK, Google doesn't use dynamic-typed languages for any of its projects (except where their hand was forced - they inherited the codebase in an acquisition) and they sure as hell are experienced in large-scale software development (for small to medium projects, the drawbacks of
python etc. aren't as apparent).
- okaram 13y agoI'm not sure what you consider google 'projects'; from what I heard, a lot of their 'sysadmin' type of scripting is in python (probably moving to go now)
- lgieron 13y agoBy "projects" I mean code delivering actual software products (like for example the search, gmail etc.), not some auxiliary admin scripts.
