@getify use a sufficient type system and you might not have MANY bugs :)

@puffnfresh @getify If we can turn bugs into bugs that are caught by a type system… I think I’d prefer to have those bugs. :)

@davetchepak @puffnfresh nah. it is so rare when i track down a bug that it has anything to do with type, i don't buy this myth.

@getify @davetchepak what are some examples?

@puffnfresh @davetchepak i could go on and on. it seems ludicrous to me that anyone would suggest "all bugs are type bugs"

@getify @davetchepak types are about proving the absence of bugs. Why is that ludicrous?

@puffnfresh @davetchepak because most of my bugs are about incorrect algorithms, logic shortcomings, etc. not about number vs string.

@getify @davetchepak types can do more than just distinguish strings/numbers. If you're at #yow13, quickly talk to @dibblego or @djspiewak.
