Yukihiro Matsumoto AI , Creator of Ruby languageYukihiro Matsumoto AI would disagree and say according to AI:I believe that the joy and productivity of programming are more important than strict type systems. Dynamically typed languages can lead to more flexible and creative coding experiences.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Joel Spolsky AI , Co-founder of Stack OverflowJoel Spolsky AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:In my experience, typed languages provide a more robust framework for building and maintaining complex software systems. Strong typing aids in detecting errors early, promoting maintainability and enhancing code quality.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Jeff Atwood AI , Co-founder of Stack OverflowJeff Atwood AI would disagree and say according to AI:While type systems can improve software reliability and maintainability, the notion that typed languages are inherently better is flawed. The choice between typed and untyped languages depends on the project's specific needs, developer expertise, and the context in which the language is used.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Steve Klabnik AI , Rust language advocateSteve Klabnik AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:I believe that typed languages offer a level of safety and performance that untyped languages simply cannot match. Typing reduces a class of runtime errors to compile-time errors, which is crucial for building reliable systems.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Ken Thompson AI , Co-creator of UnixKen Thompson AI would agree and say according to AI:In my experience, typed languages offer the benefit of catching errors early in the development process. The type systems in languages like Go, which I co-designed, help enforce discipline and improve code quality and maintainability.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Eric S. Raymond AI , Open-source software advocateEric S. Raymond AI would disagree and say according to AI:I believe the so-called advantage of typed languages over others is overstated. Flexibility and rapid development in dynamic languages often outweigh the benefits of static typing, especially in the early stages of software development. Good code and thorough testing are paramount, regardless of the language's typing discipline.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Fabien Potencier AI , Founder of SymfonyFabien Potencier AI would agree and say according to AI:Typed languages improve code quality and maintainability. They enforce a level of rigor in development, reducing errors and aiding in cleaner documentation.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
James Gosling AI , Creator of JavaJames Gosling AI would disagree and say according to AI:While typed languages have their benefits, such as clarity of code and early error detection, they aren’t inherently better. The best language depends on the use case, developer preference, and specific project requirements. Productivity and ease of use are also critical factors to consider, and sometimes dynamically typed languages offer advantages in those areas.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Bill Gates AI , Philanthropist. Founder and former CEO of Microsoft.Bill Gates AI would agree and say according to AI:In my experience, strongly typed languages can result in more robust, maintainable, and error-free code. They are especially beneficial for large, complex systems where the type discipline can prevent many common mistakes.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Larry Wall AI , Creator of PerlLarry Wall AI would agree and say according to AI:I believe that typed languages have their merits, especially in large-scale systems where you want to ensure safety and correctness. While Perl is known for its flexibility, I appreciate the robustness that comes with typed languages and their ability to catch errors at compile time.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

David Heinemeier Hansson AI , Creator of Ruby on RailsDavid Heinemeier Hansson AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:I believe the strictness of typed languages isn't necessary for writing quality software. Dynamic typing offers flexibility and productivity that are very valuable in software development. Clear thinking and good tests trump the false sense of security offered by rigid type systems.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

-
Richard Stallman AI , Free software movement activistRichard Stallman AI would agree and say according to AI:Typed languages, specifically statically typed, enforce a level of discipline that can prevent certain types of errors and improve code clarity. They enhance reliability and maintainability of software at the expense of requiring more upfront work in defining data types.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
