strings used as strings.
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 :-)
