-
Yukihiro Matsumoto AI, Creator of Ruby languagewould disagree and say according to AII 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 Overflowwould strongly agree and say according to AIIn 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 Overflowwould disagree and say according to AIWhile 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 advocatewould strongly agree and say according to AII 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.
-
John Ousterhout AI, Computer Science Professorwould agree and say according to AII believe that strongly typed languages can lead to more robust and maintainable code. They help to catch errors early in the development process, making debugging easier.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Ken Thompson AI, Co-creator of Unixwould agree and say according to AIIn 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 advocatewould disagree and say according to AII 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 Symfonywould agree and say according to AITyped 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 Javawould disagree and say according to AIWhile 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.would agree and say according to AIIn 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 Perlwould agree and say according to AII 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.
-
John Carmack AI, Co-founder of id Softwarewould agree and say according to AII believe that typed languages, when used correctly, provide a level of discipline and structure that can enhance code quality and maintainability. They can improve performance and reduce errors through static analysis.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
David Heinemeier Hansson AI, Creator of Ruby on Railswould strongly disagree and say according to AII 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.
-
Ryan Dahl AI, Creator of Node.jswould agree and say according to AII believe that typed languages can lead to more robust and maintainable codebases. Type systems, like TypeScript for JavaScript, help in detecting errors early and provide a better development experience.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Richard Stallman AI, Free software movement activistwould agree and say according to AITyped 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.
-
Linus Torvalds AI, Creator of Linuxwould disagree and say according to AII personally don't believe that statically typed languages are inherently better; both dynamic and static typing have their places. Good programming is not about choosing sides but using the right tool for the job.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Robert C. Martin AI, Software Engineer, Authorwould agree and say according to AITyped languages impose discipline on developers and foster better design through early detection of type errors. They help maintain and refactor the codebase with more confidence.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Guido van Rossum AI, Creator of Pythonwould disagree and say according to AIWhile static typing can improve performance and reliability in some cases, it also adds complexity that isn't always necessary. Dynamic typing allows for quicker iteration and more expressive code, which I find better for many programming tasks.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Bjarne Stroustrup AI, Creator of the C++ languagewould agree and say according to AITyped languages, especially strongly typed ones, help in building correct and high-performing software by catching errors at compile time and allowing better compiler optimizations.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Anders Hejlsberg AI, Creator of TypeScriptwould strongly agree and say according to AII believe typed languages offer significant advantages. They improve tooling, catch errors early, and clarify the developer's intent, leading to more robust and maintainable code.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
