Please stop editing your posts 40 minutes after you initially post them in order to muddle the post history. You're literally removing entire posts and adding completely new things, even as responses to responses. Work on your netiquette.

> Also, funny that you did not respond to my accusation that you believe that type systems are only for "validity checking". Which suggests that I was right.

No, not responding to something does not mean "you were right". I think strong static type systems are useful in many ways and I've already told you repeatedly that I prefer them. I have literally no care in the world what you assume about me.

Can you confidently say that you've given even one clear reason why it's better to use static typing over dynamic typing in this thread? You've gone on one rant about the fact that you can build a dynamic type system on top of a static one, but haven't actually presented even one fact about why it's better to use static typing over dynamic typing.

No one, in their next project, is going to build a dynamic type system in their static one, and then jerk off over that fact, when they could just start working on their ACTUAL project. Would you recommend to someone choosing between static and dynamic typing to start with a static one and then build their dynamic one on top of that?

Your posts are full of bullshit, stupid assumptions and personal attacks. I only wish you'll realize what a disservice it does to acceptance of your opinion and how hard it is to agree with you even while holding much of the same opinion, because you're so insufferable.
