@robdaemon Static typing solves so many stupid problems before they even start.
@robdaemon Yeah, I’m amazed sometimes how quick Spring Boot comes up.
@robdaemon I love Ruby but I wouldn’t want to work on an app built in it with 10 other engineers. With Java, it’s doable.
@RenewedRebecca What about a Ruby app with 100s of other engineers? (been there) 😅 @robdaemon
@robdaemon I still have times when I miss ASP.NET. Honestly, if you don’t get your input validation really tight, you can get nonsense really deep. Admittedly, it’s so much better that Perl, where a dict/map/associative-array/hash was just the way all data got moved around. But that’s cultural, not really linguistic.
@robdaemon @josephholsten Why one of my desires for a dev tooling language is for a semi-declarative data structure (along the lines of Python’s dataclass/attrs and Ruby’s Struct/Data) that also supports validation a la Pydantic/Zod.
