My point is that I've personally encountered very few maintenance problems while using Perl caused by anything remotely resembling a type error that a static type system could catch. (Perhaps a handful or two in eight years.) (Hey, I've even written simple Haskell code that passes the type inferencer but has a trivial mathematic proof violation.) I've almost never failed to encounter bad identifier names, poor factorization, massive duplication, and poor factorization in code with maintenance problems. My theory is, fix the big errors first. People write bad code badly. Don't pretend that static analysis or compiler tools can fix anything but trivial errors. It (currently) can't. In reply to Re^7: Perl for big projects
