Context: My day job has been coding Ruby for years, and I'm a big fan of Haskell.

Someone was asking me about my thoughts on static vs dynamic. And I realized that I have two reasons for my tests a) I didn't do something stupid like mistype a method or variable name and b) validate my logic.

Sometimes I think it swings 20/80 and others 80/20. But either way, I know that's why I gravitate towards integration tests in Ruby, and that some of them would go away if it were statically typed.

Even after coding in Ruby all these years, I'm still just as afraid of (and susceptible to) problems in a).
