The way to reduce lines of code is to create good abstractions. Some languages may be better at this than others, and I think this is more important than the type system of the language.
- dllthomas 12y agoIn some languages, the type system helps quite a bit in creating abstractions.
- jshen 12y agoI doubt it makes it easier to create abstractions compared to a lisp.
- dllthomas 12y agoThere are upsides and downsides to working in something with a sufficiently useful type system versus working in a lisp - even as pertains specifically to abstractions. You can doubt, but I'm speaking from some experience with both. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm right, of course, but take it for what it's worth.
