1 year agoIf the language has really good type inference (Haskell comes to my mind though F# was quite nice as well) it’s better. It really makes life much easier.
However when dealing with real-world problems (just moving data around which are changing constantly) the types don’t really add that much, you need to test anyway. Test suites is what I need. Clojure and Common Lisp are OK.
Then I’m guilty of breaking the license. I have always been stealing code from Stack Overflow. Well, since I’m a senior dev right now I steal only from answers.
