I am strongly strongly statically typed pilled and I will not apologize.
100%. Though I can't imagine the meme is actually saying that things being stringly typed is a good thing.
I don't think it is, and I'm not saying they don't have their place, I'm just a bit of a hater of dynamic types, like in a fun way, I don't think they're the bane of existence or anything. I just really love static typing.
But what about the absraction and portability and the inheritence and bunch of other buzzwords?!
Every compile error I work through is a runtime error I don't have to troubleshoot by surprise. ๐
Portability, abstraction and inheritance are fundamental concepts, not buzzwords. Strongly typed languages can and does have all of these things.
