Hah, now that's my kind of dude:
"I know you’re supposed to be diplomatic and claim that there’s two
sides to this story, and no real right answer, but really people who
think dynamic typing is suitable for large scale software development
are just nuts. They’ll claim it’s more flexible and general but that’s
just nonsense in my opinion."
Classic :) It's weird when I see my thoughts written by someone else
(and worded better that I would have), but he nailed it there.
I do think his "inertia" with C++ is cranked way into overdrive,
though.
Yes.
Forget waiting for a huge improvement, I'd have been happy to
ditch C++ even for a small improvement. C++ is such a pain IMO that
using it has about as much inertia as ice skates on concrete.
I found shifting from C++ to C an improvement. (Yes, I learnt C++
before I learnt C.) I should mention that this was back in the mid 90s
and C++ may have improved since then :-).
