Another good reason for always declaring variables, and always quoting

I tend to disagree. This is similar to the argument that
traditionalists in more conventional 3GL and 4GL's make for typing all
variables, even if the compiler will do it for you. I couldn't
disagree more. If you embrace the Tao then this is unnecessary. Remember, this is a different paradigm.


If I were to magically become a decent typist, I'd probably agree with you.

But given my current typing accuracy level, I need the crutch of spellcheckers in documents, and the equivalent of spellchecking in my scripting. So I personally need the help that I can get from declaring variables (and setting the switch in the IDE to always require variables to be declared).

The issue isn't the paradigm - it's the typong ...
(yes, I did mean typong :-)
