It&#x27;s odd how people are in their perspectives on static vs dynamic. I can&#x27;t for the life of me understand how people tolerate static typing on the web. Every time I&#x27;ve tried it the experience has been so tedious.<p>I just figure, everything is coming in as a string no matter what. It&#x27;s going back out as a string. The only place it needs to be anything other than a string is something interesting is being done with it and since dynamic typing lets you just worry about it in those cases, it removes a lot of unnecessary code.<p>On the flip side, outside of web work i can&#x27;t imagine the reverse.
