With static languages, once a piece of code compiles without errors,
you have a slightly higher level of confidence in its correctness than
with a dynamic language.
On the other hand, a dynamic language allows me to be much more
productive, because I have to write less code to begin with.
You can be too dynamic. Take an example like this:
class date:
def __init__(self,d,m,y):
self.day=d
self.month=m
self.year=y
d=date(25,12,2015)
d.yaer=1999
print (d.day,d.month,d.year)
'year' has been spelled wrongly, but this error is not picked up by the
byte-code compiler and will not immediately be detected at runtime
either. It will be seen in my example only if someone notices the
printout isn't what it should be.
This would never get past a static language nor some that also have
dynamic types.
