I enjoy using dynamically typed languages (especially Scheme) from time to time. I feel like I take a type driven approach when I do, but there's some kinds of exploration when it just feels like a nice way to work.https://twitter.com/lexi_lambda/status/1219103128836100098 …

I love reading about why people like dynamic typing, partly because it gives me a new way of thinking about things, but mostly because saying that something is impossible with static types makes me think "Yay! Challenge accepted!"

Anyway, please keep arguing about it, because it's fascinating. Just remember to be nice, and that your problems are not the same as everyone else's!

Thanks, Alexis. The examples about writing from your own experience are especially useful to me.
