minus-squarerhabarba@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up16·3 months agoDynamic typing is the source of very amazing errors, see JavaScript.
minus-squaresus@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 months agoI think the problems there are exacerbated a lot by over-eager type coercion and other crappy design decisions inherited from almost 30 years ago
minus-squarebarsoap@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 months agoYep lua and lisp/scheme are also unityped and not even close to as broken. All are remarkably similar languages, theory-wise. …also something something Guido not getting tail call elimination and people sending him copies of the wizard book. It’s been a while. (And, yes, lua does proper tail calls).

minus-squareTheHarpyEagle@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoHonestly, I’ve been using type hints very heavily since they became a thing. I just use IDE completion too much to do without them.
