@lupyuen Interesting read! Thanks. I am partial to Clojure and the lisps, which he doesn't mention -- lisps might fall behind his call for "modern" languages (because of their age, though this is actually a bad indicator for them), and Clojure definitely disagrees with him about types, but strong agreement on immutability and functional thinking.

@worldsendless @lupyuen I heard many people this, "This enables you to catch many bugs before running your application". It is accurate; however, after debugging my Rust library, I produced more bugs than a compiler can catch. So I ended up implementing unit tests. Defining types and fixing them is time-consuming. So I spent more time implementing the Rust version than the Clojure version. 😪

Anyways, I still code in Rust because my library ran many times faster than one in Clojure. 🙀
@worldsendless @lupyuen It is a shame that I didn't try clj-kondo yet. 🤦🏾‍♂️

I have a high hope in static analysis tools for dynamic typing languages.
