    Strong typing is for weak minds.

    You absolutely do not need a computer telling you what types you can put in a collection. Put an assert, write some unit tests, if you aren’t sure where data sources come from and can’t write a one-line comment.

    Dynamic typing makes you fast, it’s empowering. Try it and quit being so scared.

      I agree, strong typing is for weak minds. I work with a weak mind so I want strong typing.

      There’s no difference in speed between typing disciplines. In point of fact, there cannot be. You must know the structure of your data to program against it. Whether you write it down explicitly or implicitly changes nothing but the location you wrote it down.
