David Gudeman: >>The problem with this and all the other solutions is that they >>involve a non-trivial amount of extra work -- work that is only >>necessary to overcome problems that are caused by static typing. >>Rather than try to find ways around the problem, why not eliminate >>the source of the problem? Chip Salzenburg: >Because I like type safety. > >Next question? Me (Raul Rockwell): (1) What is "type safety"? (2) How do you achieve it by static analysis of a program? (3) How does that exclude dynamic typing?
