Totally agree. 90+% of the argument for dynamic languages is "getting
shit done", and yet they ultimately *create* work: More unittests, more
roadblocks optimizing for memory/speed, and (the biggest IMO) much more
debugging due to statically-checkable errors being silently converted
into hidden bugs.

clothes:
