Do you feel like you should be able to make any nonsensical argument you want and people should take that as fact/proof? The idea that static type systems are better to use (in general) because you can make dynamic type systems on top of them is simply not something you can just say and then have taken as fact.

Also, I should add, I think you lost the "this is childish call" when, two posts into this thread, you made assumptions about everyone saying dynamic typing was useful (they obviously are not on your level, amirite?).

You started this thread off by saying empirical evidence of which is better for practical use is almost impossible to get. You then proceeded to argue your position as fact, knowing that you had no evidence to support it. If you want to present your opinion as fact, then feel free to find actual facts to support it.

Get over yourself.

You and sklogic took this thread into an inner circle of flamewar hell. This is a poster child for the kind of discussion we don't want here, which pollutes HN for everyone else. Please don't do this again.

If you feel provoked, catch it before it drives you into an angry back-and-forth. That's not easy, but it's something we all have to work on in order not to destroy this site.

This post is exactly what I come to HN to avoid: Moderators abusing users for no reason, disrupting discussions in the process.
