Not sure why you felt the need to insult me but that won't lead to useful discussions...
I meant the general web3/cryptobro crowd
It's amusing to see these kind of statements from the decentralized no goverment/no authorities crowd. To quote RKL:
Well it's anarchy, fuck the cops Of course, how else, through peace. But when the looters come to kick your ass I bet you cry "Police!"
Have you heard about Typescript?
Solution: TRY-CATCH
Granted these are just lawsuits at the moment and not final verdicts but still it's not hard to see how they don't play a fair game.
It can definitely NOT query a database(as that would be an effect which would be visible in the type).
It does compile time computations using generics + implicits
If we are talking about a first iteration/mvp then I can agree with you. On the other once you have to maintain/extend/refactor this first iteration you'll start seeing the (imo) enormous benefits of static typing.
f :: Void -> a
f _ = let x = x in xConsistency comes to mind as a pretty good reason.
To be honest I'm kinda surprised that even after the 'goto fail' story people still write code in this questionable style(I know this particular issue is not stemming from the lack of curly braces, but still).
Not yet, I've removed the offensive parts. But if you quote from me please quote correctly, your current comment(and the fact that you update it in every 5 minutes) is misleading.
