I think, especially in programming language communities, that there tends to be a preference towards making a static language for their compile time guarantees, and this is a pretty concrete counterargument as to why people find dynamic languages “easier to program in”

    It’s amazing the person who has the blog is only 18 years old, and he is writing about very abstract concepts. I am following him since he was 16, and I see a lot of potential in there.

    Also, I don’t agree with some of the points he raised there, but hey, when I was 18 (or 16) I was far away from his level of understanding. Things started to click for me when I was in my early 20s, not 16.
