@avibryant@patrickc I missed that line. In that case: kudos to the author of that post.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Eigenvariable@patrickc I don't buy that argument in Scala's case, though. The design space is so huge and varied that it's paralyzing.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@avibryant@Eigenvariable@patrickc I'll take the other side of "the age of dynamic languages is over" bet any day of the week.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@mattknox@avibryant@patrickc Sadly, I agree with you. It's better read as "gee, I wish the age of dynamic languages would start waning."1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

@Eigenvariable@avibryant@patrickc I get that you like types, but surely you want more people programming?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@mattknox@noahlt@Eigenvariable I think we'll get better at types, and they will tip over to being better for beginners.3 replies 0 retweets 1 like
