      I’m not super fond of dynamic typing either. I like untyped or uni-typed languages like ‘everything is an array’ (APL) or ‘everything is an integer’ (Forth, assembly).

      I’m of the same opinion as Chuck Moore who once observed, “Strong typing merely creates errors so that they can be detected.” In my experience, the amount of complexity added by these systems is staggering. To such a degree that they cause more errors than they prevent. More types, more opportunities to use them incorrectly, after all.

      I also prefer the ‘build the program while it’s running’ workflow, which is inhibited by static typing.

        One time I found a C++ library where everything was of a single type, the “untype” essentially. It removed all type safety, in other words, to allow pure binary access to all data. I mean, there’s an occasion now and then when one needs that sort of thing, but I found in every case it was just a headache. Now I know there’s two people like that, haha.

        Well, I don’t agree with you, but I respect a hot take about coding when I see one. My own a-little-less-spicy-than-yours take is that OOP is overated.
