| Jan 10, 2019 at 15:04 | comment | added | Winston Ewert | @gnasher729, I'm now convinced that the question is unanswerable because so many other factors influence productivity in a language. People's convictions one way or another are heavily influenced by which dynamic or static languages they've used. | |
| Jan 5, 2019 at 17:02 | comment | added | gnasher729 | Today, we also have languages with templates, languages that derive types, languages that can use protocols instead of types, languages that allow typed enumerations. So there isn’t just “typed” an “dynamic” anymore. | |

| Jan 18, 2014 at 1:07 | comment | added | Erik Reppen | Studies of this nature never have enough context to be worthwhile, IMO. There's a big difference between what a 2,000-developer team that's probably way too big for the work needs to be successful and what a 5-dev team needs. IMO, every dev should learn to write maintainable code in a dynamic language. There's a lot of experienced developers out there claiming you can't write maintainable JavaScript whose strictly typed code could stand to benefit from STFUing and actually learning how, IMO. But it's not an either/or thing. | |

| Mar 3, 2012 at 15:11 | comment | added | Winston Ewert | @haylem, given meta.programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/105/…, I haven't been concerned with accepting answers on Programmers.SE unless I thought they really hit the nail on the end. For many of my questions, I don't believe that any of the answers did that. | |

| Oct 15, 2010 at 17:05 | comment | added | Winston Ewert | @David Thornley, Agreed. | |
| Oct 15, 2010 at 15:16 | comment | added | David Thornley | @Winston: Typing systems do belong in CS theory, but practical studies don't. | |
| Oct 15, 2010 at 12:46 | comment | added | Frank Shearar | The question's perfectly on topic. This question discusses one of the most important properties of the tools we use to program. | |

| Oct 7, 2010 at 0:09 | comment | added | Winston Ewert | @bigown, yes its a computer science issue but its not a computer science theory issue. CS theory essentially deals with what we can mathematically prove about about programs and computing. Issues of programmer productivity are not cs theory questions. There have been discussions of dynamic typing both here and on stackoverflow. There have been none on cstheory. | |

| Oct 6, 2010 at 23:13 | comment | added | dash-tom-bang | Ha hah I thought exactly the same thing as @gablin. Wondering, huh, is he talking about a keyboard that adjusts while you're using it? <sigh> | |
| Oct 6, 2010 at 22:08 | comment | added | gablin | @bigown: Ah, that kind of typing. I thought he meant typing as in keyboard typing... Thanks! ^^ | |
| Oct 6, 2010 at 22:04 | comment | added | Winston Ewert | @bigown, it doesn't seem to me that issues of productivity and defects relate to computer science theory | |

| Oct 6, 2010 at 21:52 | comment | added | gablin | Forgive my ignorance, but what's static and dynamic typing...? | |
