Dynamic Clarity: The Crutch of Static Typing
Working solo often leads to a preference for dynamic languages, as collaboration typically highlights the need for good design and documentation over static typing. Static typing can sometimes mask poor design, allowing developers to neglect proper documentation and intuitive naming conventions. In reality, the benefits of static typing often stem from the compiler's ability to catch errors, which can also be achieved through advanced type inference in dynamically typed languages. This suggests that effective code practices are more crucial than the typing paradigm itself, emphasizing that clarity and understanding in code should take precedence over reliance on static types.
