Comment on What Dynamic Typing Is For

Comments

I agree with the author. DSLs are often more reasonable, readable, and authentic than weirdly ported versions for general purpose languages. On the other hand, language servers checking type mismatches and providing suggestions are very useful. I too hope they will become good enough so we can use the same capacity for the DSL in a general purpose language like CSS/SQL in JavaScript. They are some, but not enough.
