The Current Practical Limit of Static TypingI've been asked to review some papers on the topic of application development using dynamically typed languages. Many of these papers make claims about static typing that I believe are untrue. However, I believe there is a limit on what can practically be achieved with static typing, and there certainly is a limit on what can practically be achieved right now. Where do you think that limit lies? Some ideas: Anything involving runtime code modification seems difficult. Meta-circularity likewise. Most current statucally typed languages offer no useful support for arrays. By Noel at 2007-03-12 10:45 | LtU Forum | previous forum topic | next forum topic | other blogs | 8327 reads
