I would love to see the flawless code you've written over 20 years where static typing would have done nothing for you or anyone else maintaining your code.

You sure do seem to have it in for folks who don't share your opinion. You've been pretty aggressively posting all over this discussion.

No one is trying to kill your puppy or taking your types away.

Competent people can have different opinions.

You have something that works for you. Great.

The fact that you don't understand why others don't share your opinion doesn't make them wrong or "incompetent" as you said in a different comment.

  • Have an actual argument? Hopefully a better one than DHH’s, “it’s too hard to type things” Like how bad of a programmer do you need to be? It’s ok to call people out even if they’re popular. Like all the commenters on his PR.

    dhh literally took people’s types away. People don’t like that.
