"Do it in #Rust from the beginning!" - Jon Gjengset

#RustLang #Prototyping #DynamicTyping #StaticTyping

For long there has been debate about #StaticTyping vs #DynamicTyping in #programming. Frequently claims are made that static typing reduces bugs. Purely anecdotally I have not personally found that to be significantly true, and static typing can make coding slower with less flexibility (then again I am a #Tcl guy, and also prefer pure #Javascript to #TypeScript).

Here is a great read that analyses various studies made on the topic: https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/

Go's a statically typed language for many good reasons. But sometimes we need a bit more flexibility.
Let's check out @joeblubaugh’s "Looking In Go’s Mirror: How and When to Use Reflect" about how the Reflect package can help.

Just discovered this new language. It presents itself as a python replacement. Seems clean and "teachable". #proglang #statictyping

Hi all 👋

I'm moving from https://mastodon.social/@alexelcu, again; still experimenting, and with a self-control problem 😅

I'm a #programmer. I love #StaticTyping and #FunctionalProgramming on top of #Scala, #Kotlin, and #Haskell. I'm from #Bucharest, #Romania, and I like to contribute to programming libraries.

I write at https://alexn.org, and I contributed to https://monix.io and to https://typelevel.org.
