You misunderstood me. I agree that scripting and programming have nothing to do with dynamic types. > It's technically scripting, not programming, but can you imagine if Bash files were type hinted? I was clarifying that writing Bas

I wonder if you could use this surgery combined with a specialised prosthetic arm to create movable yet simple replacement hands. Imagine a prosthetic arm with a hollow body and a hand that can open and close in a simple fashion. Run a hydr
