That's an insular opinion piece that doesn't sway, especially in the age of AI agents, it has not aged well. Its shallow rejection of Rich Hickey's nuance, is also unconvincing. It is a polemical justification for a coding philosophy that is incomplete and dishonest about the benefits of alternatives. Thanks for reminding me that no one cares; important to reinforce that.
That's quite the shallow dismissal, and the bit about AI agents is a particularly weird non sequitur — King's argument is about what type systems can and cannot express. AI agents don't change the relationship between static types and open-world data processing.
It sounds like you're annoyed that Hickey's position was effectively challenged.
