Started with MySQL in the mid 2000s. It was ok for what I needed. Then switched to Postgres early 2010s. Found it richer in tooling, extensions, and options. I don't know how well MySQL supports them today, but here are just a few feat

Why? Because type errors are a fact of life in programming. They're not evidence of programmers trying to be eccentric. What was expected? Regardless if static or dynamic, it should be strongly typed. Just throw the error. All language

Thanks for the detailed answer and insight. It opened up an interest in more closely comparing the shots one gets from machines in the different categories, to see how apart they really are.
