That's an interesting point. I like it. Kind of off topic, but my earlier remark about psychological factors that might contribute to static type zealotry made me think about one static type fan (zealot, maybe) I knew who, I think, at one time endeavored to avoid thought processes that couldn't be made rigorous. I keep thinking I should have said that I think creativity often requires a intermediate stage of messiness. Then you have to clean it up to get something interesting, in many cases, but you wouldn't have gotten to some place new and interesting if you only went via purely rational, rigorous steps. Maybe this is the argument that zcaudate should use: Static typing is the death of creativity. Just kidding. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
