For me that is the most important factor, because it directly influences the amount of code produced. Less code means less bugs and less code to read/understand

For me that is the most important factor, because it directly influences the amount of code produced. Less code means less bugs and less code to read/understand when getting back into a codebase.
- m0skit0 11y agoThen I guess you chose the wrong side. Dynamically-typed languages produce less code precisely because you don't need to specify the types. E.g. Scala is more verbose than Clojure.
- justthistime_ 11y agoI'm not sure that Scala code + types is more verbose than Clojure code + tests. (Which is what the OP argued.)
- m0skit0 11y agoYou need tests everywhere, statically typed doesn't mean you don't need to test.
