Comment on What Dynamic Typing Is Forparent

Comments

whether you write them down or not.

Note that "types have been written down" != "the program was written with static typing". See, for example, what's doable with clojure.spec.

While loose, "from the hip" code (w.r.t. typing) often correlates with the use of dynamically typed languages, we shouldn't make the mistake of assuming a total causality there.

(Also, I still find the number of people willing to put e.g. `object` parameters in their public C# APIs concerningly high. Not that one has to deal with such APIs all the time, but they're not exactly eradicated, either.)

Dynamic, strongly typed code is a quadrant that has confused a substantial number of conversations about how to handle typing.
