For me, it comes down to the fact that static typing completely eliminates large classes of bugs. It therefore dramatically lowers the testing load. The compile step essentially performs its own tests. Think about all the test cases I save myself from having to write... Beyond that, it also forces me to think structurally from the start. But I tend to be working on rather complex applications, I almost certainly wouldn't use a static lang for data processing or similar tasks. > It feels a lot like the people who used to try to convince everyone functional programming was the only way to go and object-oriented programming was for dinosaurs. What do you mean "used to"?? Haha |
