@yoshuawuyts No, people will not wrap all their functions in a class block. That's silly! @Vjeux

@BrendanEich They already do so in Java, so I expect the same here. But we’ll see I guess.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@yoshuawuyts Java started with classes, only added anything like functions in Java 8. Big difference.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@BrendanEich@yoshuawuyts tangentially same with types. With Hack (php) and typescript, people don't type everything, just when it is useful2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Vjeux And yes, local type inference or better wins. No need to over-annotate.@yoshuawuyts1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BrendanEich@Vjeux I've done just enough Haskell to see why a strict type system makes sense. Wish we could get rid of JSdoc signatures.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@yoshuawuyts Confusion: Haskell has "non-strict" (lazy) evalution. But I grok you. Haskell demands writing the proof for the program.@Vjeux1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@yoshuawuyts Pet peeve moment: No need for "strong","strict", &c. in front of "type system". Soundness is implied by those two words.@Vjeux3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@BrendanEich@Vjeux Does that imply JavaScript has no type system?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@yoshuawuyts Writing with rigor, yeah. This is controversial for some reason. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/964910/is-javascript-an-untyped-language … and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9154388/does-untyped-also-mean-dynamically-typed-in-the-academic-cs-world ….@Vjeux1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@BrendanEich @Vjeux Ah, I didn't know this. Thanks.

@yoshuawuyts I'm ok with "dynamically typed" or "has dynamic types only" (or even "unityped" or "untyped" in "static types" context).@Vjeux0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
