Strong Typing vs. Strong Testing.
In recent years my primary interest has become programmer productivity. Programmer cycles are expensive, CPU cycles are cheap, and I believe that we should no longer pay for the latter with the former. [Thinking About Computing]
Great insight into static vs. dynamic typing. The notion that static typing is really just a very basic form of unit test is key. If you perform your own extensive unit testing, is the pain caused by static typing worth it? I don't think that it is.
