Why Is It Better to Have the Compiler Tell You This Is Wrong?
Many developers would rather have a seg vault during runtime than to have a compile error. I think part of this is because they're overly confident that it won't crash later and so if you give them an error at compile time they go this is not a problem wise the compiler not just doing what I tell it to. In general for things like prototyping it is a hindrance to getting something that you can run right but there is a balance here which is maybe where it's a little bit more of a gray area whether it's actually good or not.
