Dynamic typing
-
For the people who like dynamic programming languages (Python, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, Perl...): how do you deal with typos? I misspelled a table name in a SQL query ("tranlsation" instead of "translation" :-O ) and spent almost 15 minutes trying to figure out why I get no results. If I do that in a statically typed language, the compiler just throws the syntax error right into my face.

Syntax errors? We don't need no stinking syntax errors!

So you say UltraEdit is smart enough to recognize a non-existing table in a database? :)

No, but it does build an intellisense every time you add something new (I think). As long as you write it correct the first time, it should show you the correct keyword. Again, I think it does this because I see it in my files from time to time.

I think it is synonymous with private access.

The problem is that you want static typing and hard syntax rules about 97% of the time. But occasionally you crave the fluid freedom of dynamic typing, usually in high-level abstract pattern-like situations. And once in a very great while you even need an interpreter, so you can construct and run snippets of code from within your program. But usually you want strict and static typing; you know you're a bad boy and cannot be trusted.

I don't like them because they are not strongly typed.

I must live on another planet. I frequently want to construct and run snippets of code within my program, I'm always craving the fluid freedom of dynamic typing because I use high-level abstraction, and 3% of the time I'm wanting strong typing. :sigh: Clearly, I'm at odds with the approved approaches for programming! :-D Marc

I think Mr. Mackay[^] best summarises my thoughts on this.

That's the price you pay for the flexibility of 'dynamic' languages. No risk, no fun!
