Your two points are contradictory.
It's true that I'm guessing at the numbers. (Who isn't? The post you reference doesn't include any data.) But that doesn't affect the point that the OP is obviously wrong to say "the whole unit testing movement basically came out of dynamically typed languages".
- silentbicycle 17y agoThe points aren't necessarily contradictory. There are probably tons of programmers who buy books about various fashionable methodologies but don't continue using them in the long run. Writing the examples in Java would make sense as a lingua franca, even if he didn't believe that TDD would be adopted by the Java community.
- gnaritas 17y agoI think he initially did believe the community would pick up TDD, clearly he changed his mind.
- gnaritas 17y agoNot contradictory at all, many programmers consult in Java because there's lots of work in big business using Java. However, that doesn't mean the attempt to bring the TDD culture to Java will necessarily work. Java consulting might pay the bills but it became clear that jUnitMax couldn't, wrong culture.
