minus-squareTheHarpyEagle@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days 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.

minus-squarexmunk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·3 days agoOperator overloads are excellent for readable code when used well - I object to their inclusion on this list.

minus-squarerhabarba@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up15·3 days agoDynamic typing is the source of very amazing errors, see JavaScript.
minus-squaresus@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 days 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 days 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).
