minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink21•2 months agoDynamic typing, special and unique syntax for every language feature, interpreter intrinsics
minus-squarerhabarbalinkfedilink16•2 months agoDynamic typing is the source of very amazing errors, see JavaScript.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•2 months agoI think the problems there are exacerbated a lot by over-eager type coercion and other crappy design decisions inherited from almost 30 years ago
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•2 months agoYep lua and lisp/scheme are also unityped and not even close to as broken. All are remarkably similar languages, theory-wise. …also something something Guido not getting tail call elimination and people sending him copies of the wizard book. It’s been a while. (And, yes, lua does proper tail calls).

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•2 months agoOperator overloads are excellent for readable code when used well - I object to their inclusion on this list.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 months agoHonestly, I’ve been using type hints very heavily since they became a thing. I just use IDE completion too much to do without them.
